What I like about the Epson oem ink it never messes up my Epson printer like the generic ink does. So I stay with Epson for quality ink cartridges for my printer!

I have ordered this product two times now from sellers other than Amazon (PCInk and "3 day shipping") and in both cases, the cartridges come individually in a envelope instead of in the Epson box as pictured and they are not even wrapped in the original Epson packages. I believe they are trying to pass refilled cartridges off as new, otherwise they should be in Epson original packaging. I returned both and will only order direct from Amazon from now on, even though they are priced higher. The ink itself is great ink when ordered it comes from Epson which is why I left the rating higher. This ink may also be fine, but I order ahead of time and do not want to chance the return period passing before I find out they are defective or not as good as the Epson ink.

I am always very satisfied with the service I receive through Amazon and their suppliers like Media Liquidations, they were great and I will definately use them again when I am forced to buy ink for my printer. But Really its just ink. Ink is the life blood of the printer and a necessity if we are to print our work. We must have it and the makers of our ink know this and hold us hostage with it. Why is the price of 2 to 3 ounces of ink $12 to $18 dollars a cartridge? At this price you should be able to cure diaseases with it. It is only ink guys and it is not completely color fast at that. Just let a drop of water fall on it. Except for printing my 8 1/2 X 11 photos, I may just start printing all of my 4x6 and 5x7 photos at CVS. Between the hight cost of Epson Paper and Epson Ink retail outlets with digital processors are much more economical.

I've been using an Epson printer since I bought my first computer and have never been disappointed with their performance or duribility. The only reason I upgrade it is to add additional features I don't have. I only use Epson Ink, it is a little pricer than the generic inks and cartridges on the market, but I have never had a problem with my printers and they work smoothly and worry free all the time. I've always enjoyed the great quality of my photo prints and credit that to the 6 color cartridges Epson used, now I see that their new printers are down to 4 cartridges, they have eliminated the light cyclon and light magenta, I hope that's not a mistake. I'll have to see how the new prints rate in the reviews befor I change up to my next new printer.

I've been using one of the Artisan model printers for 6 years now and the results I get from #77 ink makes great prints no matter what type of paper I use even Velvet Fine Art Paper. And as we all know some colors will be used more than others and that is why I like using the Hi-Capacity cartridges. I'm a photographer and I will print around 10 to 20 images a month so I need top quality ink for my usage.

Ordered this product when I used my last tanks in, so that I was ready forreplacing them when they emptied. It took about 5 weeks for the first of the tanks to empty, went to my new supply and took out the two tanks that were needed and replaced them from the fresh pack. Much to my surprise my printer stated that the tanks were not recognized and could not be charged. I tried every trick that I ever learned about changing tanks and none of them worked.I had this product over 30 days so could not return it to amazon. I called the Epson company and chatted with an eager fellow from India who walked me through all the same checks that I had done earlier and then stated that the tanks were defective. He stated that they would replace only the two that I had tried to use, since the others in the pack were perhaps not defective. It took several days for the new ones to arrive so I had to go to a local store to buy replacements so that I could finish my project.Now two more are not working from the original pack and I have to go buy locally to finish the job that I am doing and then call the company toreplace these. They should have replaced the whole box and saved me all of this aggravation.Will buy a different copier if this keeps up, can't afford to buy brand name only to get stuck.

As far as I know of, this was the better way of purchasing ink for my Epson RX580. Makes no sense to me to be purchasing standard capacity cartridges at the price they cost compared to the price of Full capacity cartridges. The after market refill kits are too tedious for the laymen to be bothered with. And there is most definitely a difference in these inks that are designed for specific printer usage. If you can show me a more inexpensive Epson brand ink source, please let me know.

I recently switched from Canon printers (IP4000, IP3000 and IP9100) to Epson. My reason for switching was primarily tied to color fading of prints over time. The downside is that Epson ink is expensive but its colors are more vibrant and long lasting (time will tell on the latter). This Multi-Color Pak fit great with my needs and the pricing was good also. I would recommend this ink to anyone who is using an Epson R260 or R280.
