The Epson 79 Black Claria Hi-Definition Ink cartridge is of a high quality ink and with the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer does print a impressive photo...one of the problems I have is why Epson does not have an option to sell a six pack of the Epson 79 Claria Hi-Definition Inks that are required for the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer? The second problem I have is the high cost of these Epson 79 Claria Hi-Definition Ink cartridges especially having to buy the ink cartridges seperately.

What choice do you have? They sell the printer for peanuts, and then kill you with the price of the ink cartridges. I'll admit, this isn't just this machine but just about every printer available. So . . . that said, the printer does a fine job with output but is a bit of an ink hog. Given a choice, I'd probably purchase this one again, and suffer for the price of ink. The output is above average. :)

I second the other reviewer's desire for a 6-pack. But note that these cartridges are now $18.99 at the Epson store with free shipping deals. Some states do require sales tax but I still came out with 2nd-day shipping and less money for a set of 6.

This product is just fine and the cost is a tad high but is better than Office depot at 15 bucks a color. Maybe someday the damn printer people will start selling ink at a proper price.

Epsons Claria ink prints well on most photo art papers. The color range is outstanding. The 5 pack high capacity is a real deal for the Amazon price.

I bought some cheap ink one time and at first I thought it was great-less than half the price and seemed to work fine. After awhile though, the printer wouldn't recognize the cartridges and I had to go back to the real thing. If you have an epson, you know ink can get pretty spendy but don't be tempted to buy knock-offs. Epson ink is also gives better results on your pictures.

Available as a 6-pack from B&H for $17.98 ea (including $5 s/h to TX). For mass printings, I've had good luck with the 14 Pack of LD Products Epson T079 compatible (4 black/2 each of the colors) for $90.

I always reorder this brand when I need to replace them. I order a lot of the color cartridges as well.

Good quality, good product.

I just ordered a 5 pack of Epson #78 hi capacity ink cartridges and before I made the purchase, Amazon recommended the 6th color to add to my order. So I placed the order and a couple of minutes later, I realized that Amazon recommended the ink cartridge in black for the wrong printer. When I went to cancel it a few minutes later, I got a message saying "sorry but it's too late now to cancel". That was about 5 minutes after I placed the order. I've been a long time customer of Amazon, but on their wrong recommendation, they should have at least given me a chance to cancel, as they made the wrong offer to begin with. Shame on you Amazon. There are many other online stores on the internet. If this is the shody business practices they are resorting to, all I have to say is "Goodbye" after many years of purchases!
