I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting sick and tired of ordering Epson ink on Amazon and getting loose, OEM cartridges that don't have the date of manufacture on them or come in the proper Epson packaging with the official hologram. Despite a picture of the said packaging on the Amazon page I ordered from. I know the sellers argue that it's essentially the same product, they buy it in bulk and pass on the savings to you, but I'd at least like that to be explained in the listing so I can make an informed decision as to whether the price saving is worth the risk of out-of-date, refilled, smaller capacity OEM cartridges or pirate goods.To be fair, each of the sellers have taken back the ink without any questions asked,

We've tried third party inks to save money but it only resulted in our earlier printer getting an early demise. So although the originals are much more expensive, sadly, they work as they should. The copies are better anyway....lesson go for the official ones.I only wish Epson, and others, would lower their prices a bit. I realise with the computer style markings on the side they cost more (it tells the printer when the inks are low etc, etc) however I do feel lowering them a bit wouldn't hurt i'm sure the printer companies could shave a bit off. We normally buy the multi packs as they are better value but black is the one that gets used the most for obvious reasons hence this single black cartridge,

Yes Epson inks are expensive, there is no getting away from that. But they always work well. My advice would be always buy the genuine items, and always buy from Amazon. If a seller is offering the same thing at a much cheaper price, well the chances are it won't be the same thing, but a clone, or maybe as many reviewers report, a genuine epson but much smaller (less ink) cartridge that is normally only supplied in the box with new printers. I normally buy the T0807 multi pack, but occasionally need to top up with individual cartridges as some get used more than others. I ordered this from Amazon, and it is the expected genuine item as pictured.

I have an Epson PHOTO RX560 and always buy the genuine inks. Having owned a Lexmark in the past, I have always been very happy with the consumption of inks in the Epson. There are those, even on Amazon, who sell the sample inks to unsuspecting buyers. I have been caught out myself. I now only buy from a short list of trusted sellers and have always been very satisfied. I was shocked, however, at the sharp increase in price since my last order. Amazon used to email with an offer on inks occasionally, but this has not happened for some time. I am now buying the pack of six inks less often because of the price.

I stick to Epson ink for my Stylus Photo R265 inkjet printer because of the known quality. It is ridiculously expensive but produces spectacularly good photos. This one was priced a few pounds less than I normally pay so I jumped at it. I've used compatible inks in previous Epson photo printers and the quality seemed fine, although the prints may or may not fade faster. The problem with compatibles is that you have to replace all the cartridges at the same time (I presume) to avoid mixing different types of ink and this usually means ditching some original cartridges that are nearly full.

The saying goes......You get what you pay for!If you, like me, have an expensive Epson printer, with 6 ink tanks you want to look after it don’t you? You would not drop it on the floor, would you? So why oh why do people insist on buying CHEAP, POOR QUALITY compatible ink even though it’s a lot cheaper?Look at how many complaints and moans are on this page to confirm my point! Epson printers will last years, as long as you look after them, you would not put red fuel in your nice car, so put you hand in your wallet and buy only original cartridges!!!!

I've tried many different makes of print cartridges in the two Epson printers I have owned, sometimes they seemed to work OK and sometimes they didn't. Often I ended up cleaning the print heads so much to get them to print properly that most of the ink in the cartridge was used up, negating any cost saving at the time of purchase. In my opinion, if you want your Epson printer to work properly all of the time, use only genuine Epson ink cartridges. Why only 4 stars? They are still too expensive and don't last long enough.

The print quality can be varied depending on paper quality. The best quality glossy paper + quality print settings give absolutely stunning results which, for selected subjects, should give a lifetime of pleasure, but do balance quantity with quality if you are on a tight budget.It's a pity bulk buying is not encouraged, I'm sure more ink would flow in my direction. Each container is dated and possibly cheaper batches have older dates.

I've stuck with Epsons own inks for years now. I used to use compatible inks years ago until I realized that all the trouble I used to get with lines all over my print, was down to the inks drying up. and not the printer itself. I sometimes don't use my printer for weeks but the ink always works perfectly, no lines, no clogging up. My printer is nearly 6 years old now and still working perfectly with no clogged up jets.

I give this five stars, but I should give it one. Since when can something like this cost so much money. It's ink. I mean, just a few short years ago, humankind was just squishing berries and boiling seeds to make dyes. Then someone invented ink and just the monks and stuff got to use it. And here we are today. Paying through the nose for a light magenta ink cartridge for a printer. Sigh.

I gave up using refilled cartridges long ago as they have given me nothing but trouble. So now it's just a question of getting the genuine article at the best price. This was a very good price and I can confirm that they are original Epson cartridges. My Epson printer requires 6 cartidges and I have to say the genuine ones don't last that long but they don't give me any trouble.

The EPSON Stylus Photo RX 560 is a superb printer, but uses ink like it's going out of fashion ! The Light Magenta and Light Cyan are always the first to empty for some reason ! It uses more ink cleaning prior to printing, than at any time, so any savings that can be made are essential. That's the only reason why I buy from Amazon ! But it's not always the cheapest !!

Bought this cartridge for future use so have not used it yet. All I would say is using genuine Epson replacement cartridges does ensure your printer lasts a longer time than if you use compatible cartridges. I speak from experience on this. I used to use "Think" branded carts and they screw up the printer in the end thus shortening its life.

This ink gives excellent results on my Epson printer.It is specially intended for colour printing which I find quite outstanding. Printing black text using normal setting seems to get through ink rather faster than I would have expected. Going into draft mode is very economical indeed.My comments refer the Epson P50 printer.

Quality prints everytime!I usually purchase the TO807 Multipack which ususally works out a bit cheaper than individual cartridges, but as the different inks do not 'run out' at the same time I find this is a cost effective way to maintain a complete spare kit without having an overstock of various pigments.
