Makes the cost bearable

(5 out of 5) by Ian Richardson on Jul 10, 2007
Inkjets are notoriously expensive to run and ink is the main consumable cost. I have an excellent Epson DX 4050 and the new inks are certainly impressive and durable. However, the cartridges are relatively small in volume and a few big photos can take a heavy toll on the inks. My local shop charges me £7.99 for a cartridge. This pack from Amazon means that each cartridge costs about £4.63. It doesn't take a genius to see that this is a cracking deal. Bless you, Amazon!

High Quality Inks

(5 out of 5) by J. Davis on Mar 1, 2009 (Essex. UK)
Having previously used compatible inks in a previous epson printer I always experience that the Printer heads needed cleaning nearly every time I used it this made it highly wasteful of the inks and therefore, false economy. The printer never worked properly even when I reverted to Epson cartridges. So when I purchased a new Epson printer I vowed I would only used Epson cartidges. Since doing this I don't have any more problems with the heads needing cleaning.

GOOD INK - BAD CHIP

(1 out of 5) by Sky Watcher on Mar 20, 2009 (UK)
I have an EPSON STYLUS DX 4050 and needed to replace the coloured ink. I puchased an Epson Multipack through Amazon. After installing the coloured inks I was informed by Epson's software that:

a) The yellow ink T0714 was genuine.
b) The installed cartridge is incompatible with this printer.

If only one of the cartridges becomes empty (or is reported as incompatible due to a faulty chip) then this printer becomes unusable.

Epson customer service said that the troublesome cartridge would have to be sent to Telford for testing. If found faulty it would be replaced. Meanwhile, if I wished to use my printer I should purchase more Epson ink!

I contacted Amazon who immediately replaced the Multipack. The new ink cartridges work and I can print again.

I have discovered by this experience that replacing Epson cartridges can actually disable my printer.You may wish to purchase back-up ink :)

Full Marks to Amazon. None to Epson.

OK but...

(3 out of 5) by Paul Singleton on Mar 28, 2008 (UK)
I find these pigment colour inks unsuitable for photos: the ink sits like an opaque layer on top of glossy paper, rather like laser print, and doesn't look like a photo. Maybe Epson do a special paper?

I bought this multipack with a new D120 printer, which uses two black cartridges for speed; when the blacks ran out, the printer refused to print until BOTH blacks were replaced. As this multipack contains only one, the printer was useless until we bought more. I'm bemused that Epson specify this pack for the D120...
