Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for use with Epson inkjet printer models R200, R300, R300M, R320, RX500, and RX600, this five-pack of color ink cartridges allows you to make the most of Epson's economical print technology. These dye-based inks are resistant to water, fading and smudges and are ideal for two-sided prints, as the colors won't bleed through pages.

The individual cartridges are designed for easy replacement. Each yields approximately 430 pages of color printing, based on 5% coverage. The package contains one each of cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan, and light magenta cartridges.

It doesn't take a genius to figure this one out, does it? If you have an Epson Stylus Photo printer from the R200, R220, R300, R320, R340, RX500, RX600, or RX620 series, you're going to run out of ink eventually. The only real bugaboo with these printers is the fact that you must have ink in every single cartridge (and there are six of them, counting the black cartridge) in order to print. Perhaps, if you have plenty of ink in five cartridges but are running low on, say, light magenta, it would make sense to go out and buy just the single replacement cartridge you need. More often than not, though, you probably run out of ink in most or all of the color cartridges around the same time. Adding up the cost of five individual color ink cartridges is not fun, especially if you have to drop a bundle on color ink when all you want to do is print in black only. What can you do? Read on.

First of all, go ahead and let it out - curse your printer and Epson for the high cost of ink and the fact that you can't even print a text document until you ante up for a bunch of weird colors like light cyan and magenta. That's Step 1. Step 2, which I would recommend just skipping altogether, is to take a gander at all of these cheaper third-party ink cartridges that are supposed to work just fine in your printer. You really don't want to go mucking around with any of that third-party stuff. Stick with the genuine article from Epson itself. Now you're ready for Step 3: hit the Internet and start comparing price information for online sellers, local office supply houses, etc. Unless something changes in the future, I can pretty much guarantee you'll end up at the page you're on right now. Buying all five color cartridges as a group is cheaper than buying them individually, and I doubt you'll find a better price than you'll find right here. Sure, it hurts to pay even this much for a bunch of stupid ink, but you really don't have a choice in the matter.

At least the ink cartridges are easy to change - and you won't even get any ink on your fingers doing it. And you know they'll all work just fine because they're genuine Epson ink cartridges. This multipack really is the only way to go.

Buying the ink for my RX600 in a multipack like this is a definite cost savings over buying the individual cartridges separately. I would have bought the ink from Office Depot or Staple's but they didn't have the multipack and their individual cartridges cost more than this multipack. Amazon.com wins again!

Of course using the ink that your printer requires is the only way to go when you are printing pictures from your computer. i really liked the idea of having all the colors in one package and the quality was great. the only thing i would have liked is a package that also included a black ink cartridge, i am sure there would have been a further savings, instead of a seperate purchase
