Home > Consumer Reviews > 10-Packs Compatible Inkjet Cartridges For Epson STYLUS C88 / CX3800 / CX3810 / CX4200 / CX4800 / CX5800F / CX7800

I've bought this pack of ten for Epson printers several times. There are no compatibility issues, it will give one simple popup saying it's different, you say proceed, and that's it. You save a hundred bucks easy getting these, and by the time you run out you pick up a new Epson. Don't hesitate.

So far I've used 4 of the 10 cartridges. Two were totally unusable (not recognized by the printer). One clogged so badly I had to clean the printheads every time I printed something, wasting ink on all four cartridges. I'll use the remaining cartridges but to me the cheaper price is not worth the hassle.

I don't know how many after-market manufactures of this ink has been sold through Amazon and other places but I found one that works so good I am going to purchase some more very soon. The manufacture seems to be "CeBIT CTC Global Sources". I have never seen them before but there so many manufactures it's hard to know them all. The ink cartridges seem to be very well made and packaged very nice! I have had to use two cartridges so far with no drips, spots, clogging or anything bad happening to my printer or documents I have printed. I do know that a friend of mine had purchased the same ink and he told me he had many problems so I went to his house and had a look for myself. He forgot to pull the yellow tab of paper off the cartridge so the ink can flow on its own. After I pulled the tabs off for him everything worked very good. One think that I did not like is the lack of any documentation for the installation of the cartridges. Other than that it has been a very nice experience and I hope more users can have as much luck as I did. One last thing to look at when you purchase the ink is the "Use Before" date. If that was out of date it may give you some troubles so keep an eye out. My use before date was 2009-12-31 and the production date is January 2006. I hope this helped someone.

Have gone through 2 black cartridges in only a few weeks. The first one started leaving blank bands all over the page after a few days. Thought I had a dud so I put in another. It started doing the same thing after a week and left blobs of black ink scattered on the page.

I felt the Epson brand ink cartridges were too expensive, so I decided to go the cheap route thinking there could not be that much of a difference, and now I know why there is...

My printer has never printed accurate colors with these "compatiable cartridges" and what is the point of having a great photo printer if the photos aren't going to be the correct colors.

All I can say, is lesson learned.
