I have tried the Rhinotek ink after the Epson ink. Both printed fine, but Rhinotek started off messy. My Epson ink disappeared so ridiculously fast (5 weeks), and I was stuck without ink one night, and I shook it then put it back in, and I kid you not it lasted almost 6 months with a lot of printing!!
The Rhinotek's about out after 3 months, I am afraid to shake it after the messy start. I know you aren't supposed to, but perhaps the ink manufacterer's WANT the ink to run out........

I've been very happily surprised by the quality of the printing with my new Epson Stylus 880. The ink cartridges have lasted a fair amount of time, and while I wish I got more than the 3 months worth of time, I have to be satisified with that. (Occassional use for the girl's school reports, personal finances and some "take-home" from work.) The only thing against it is the ...price. That seems to be the trend in ink jet printers now, but it is hard to pay over ...for a few ounces of ink. That said, you don't have a lot of choice if you want to retain top-quality printing, so it is a price that I will (grudgingly) pay.

I like how Epson has color-coded their inkjet cartridges with animals. For my printer I don't ever have to remember a part number or a model number or anything abstract like that. Just get a zebra for my black ink and a lion for my colored ink. That simple. And most folks know that ink cartridges are EXPENSIVE, especially if you buy them in person. And online their are a zillion sellers of these things, but try as I have, I have not been able to beat what I find on Amazon. Epson factory ink at the best price out there, brand new, not a refill, so I don't have to worry that an important document might come out bad.

product was shipped fast. it was the correct cartridge, the one that works for my epson printer.

Printer ribbons for the Epson 880 Printer are far from cheap. Luckily with my search on line, Amazon came through with a good price. I saved at least $10 by not buying from (other retailers). Thanks Amazon. By the way, the Epson 880 is a great printer.
