Product Description

Print quality depends heavily on the complex relationship between the ink, print head, and output media. Amazon Imaging mastered the ink chemistry and the hydrodynamics required to produce reliable ink cartridges and then added special foam, filters, and high technology plastic housings for a premium quality inkjet product. Superior manufacturing methods produce both thermal and piezo inkjet cartridges and wide-format ink with more vibrant color and longer ink life. Amazon Imaging products make ideal replacements for Epson Stylus cartridges, Canon bubble jet cartridges, and many others.

1.0 out of 5 stars clogs print head, June 18, 2003

Stay away from this for for the Epson C80 printer. This brand might be ok if your brand of printer is one that uses a style with the print head built into the cartridge, but not for this model! I tried the black to see how it would work out, and I ended up having to constantly run the print head cleaning cycle to get it to work properly. I just literally had to "clean" most of the ink out of it, (along with the good ink in the other three color cartridges). I pulled it out when it showed 1/2 full, just to go back to the OEM cartridge (which immediately worked fine after only one cleaning cycle)!
There are better knock off brands out there! Save your money and stick with OEM (or try inksell.com, or carrotink.com).
I think these knock off cartridges will eventually sort themselves out, and it will become evident which ones are worth your money given your printer model. For now, skip this one!
Can somebody out there please research, and put together a comprehensive testing and rating site for these things? There are still too many disappointments out there.

I used this ink for my Epson C-80 printer. This ink clogged up the nozzle. I could use only 10 % of ink. After the nozzle was clogged up, I had to use a Q-tip with Alcohol to clean the nozzles. Auto clean didn't resolve the problem. I don't recommend this ink.

1.0 out of 5 stars T032120 Black Cartridge - Replacement, June 28, 2003

I purchased two of the above replacement cartridges. They came in a different package which I did not think anything of at the time. As of this writing I needed to replace my cartridge with the one(s) purchase and found that the printer does not recognized either these cartridges that I purchased. I now have to run to another store and purchase the correct cartridges that WILL be recognized to complete my printing before my meeting.
