The first cartridges used for the Epson C42UX printer will not last very long, per the documentation, in order to prime the printer initially. I am on my second cartridge, and it has lasted a good while.

I received this printer free with a Dell computer purchase. It seems to work great for both text and photos. My only concern is that the first black print cartridge went fast! With average home use (mostly kids doing school work), it only lasted 1 month. My color cartridge is half empty. I hope the refills will last longer than the original but just in case I ordered several refills.

I got this ink cartridge with the free gateway package. I print about 1000 copies per month. The cartridge dried out the first day. I am a teacher and I printed out about six worksheets for 20 students. ...Then I needed to find a replacement cartridge. I checked Staples, Office Max, and Office Depot in Los Angeles (5 different stores) and none had this model in stock. So I had to order a new printer and search the internet for cartridges. It will be at least a week before I can use the printers. Gateway should advise customers to get an upgrade. (I certainly would have if I had know of the limited amount of prints I would get from this printer). ...My advice.: Buy something more powerful unless you print fewer than 10 copies a month! ...I have used a lot of inkjets and every HP cartridge lasted 5-10 the length of this one. Hope this helps you avoid the problems I encountered.

I stocked up on Epson ink for my Epson C42UX printer. Just after installing a new cartridge, a notice pops up "Parts in your printer are at the end of their service life" and the printer will not print. It turns out all of the parts are ok inside the printer; just have to wash the ink out some cotton pads. Once the pads are washed out, there is no RESET button on this model. I have 4 boxes of brand new ink which I have no use for. I will not buy another Epson printer because of this marketing technique.

This is a great basic printer! While as others have noted it is a bit loud and a bit slow, but for the price I certainly won't complain. I have generic cartridges and both work great! Just printed my first photos and it was simple and the quality is very good! I used the Epson glossy photo paper that came with the printer and will continue to use it to print photos from my digital camera. What sold me on this printer was that the cost of the cartridges was not [$$$]! Will order generic cartridges on line for [$$$]!

Kinda stupid to review ink. What can I say? It's black, as advertised. It works. Otherwise I don't have much of an opinion. What a waste of my time!
