What's to say about this. It is a genuine Epson cartridge that saved me a longish trip to computer store. Recommended.

My R1800 has issues with banding and feeding paper, but I doubt that the inks are involved. The prints look great and print pretty fast especially compared with the time I used to spend in the darkroom making a color print. What I imagine Amazon wants to hear is the 3 cartridges I ordered arrived in 4 or 5 days with free shipping.

I have an Epson R1800 that uses ink very quickly and the cartirdges are small. I find ordering through Amazon very convenient as a Prime member I get free 2 day shipping and the prices are very competitive.

What can I say - Factory ink is good stuff and when it comes from Amazon it is not only good but it is priced better than anywhere else. Unless I need ink "right now" I order from Amazon and save a little over some places and save a LOT over others.

It's how the printer companies really make their money. I cringe that it costs me $120 to replace all of my ink cartridges on my Epson R1800 and I never get as many prints as I think I should. A necessity for sure, there is no way around buying these things, I just wish they were a little cheaper. The quality of the inks are very good though and the prints I get from the R1800 are outstanding.

I don't think this ink requires any comments. Its genuine from Epson, period. It's perfect for the Epson printer it's designed for. I don't have a problem using third-party inks on my cheap everyday printers. But for professional quality jobs on a pretty expensive (at least when we bought it a few years ago) Epson Photo R1800 -- genuine ink is the only way to go.

Epson is always a good choice. Epson is a great company to deal with.

If you make sure you are buying the ink from Amazon and not a partner, this is the best pricing you will find as your freight will be free, using SuperSaver.

I have the ink. It came in a timely manner. I haven't opened it, yet. The box is fine. :-) This is true for all the boxes I have purchased from you, except for the yellow, which I have already started to use. This write-up covers them all.

When it comes to ink for my R1800 photo printer, I am concerned with the quality of the images I print. The Epson red UltraChrome Hi-Gloss ink cartridge provides superior resistance to water, fading and smudging. It is important to me that my prints are of high quality, so I don't attempt to use the cheaper compatible ink cartridges. The color can be duplicated, but all inks are not created equal. Third party options may produce a good print initially, but may not hold up or last as long.

PROS:

Provides superior resistance to water, fading and smudging
