2.0 out of 5 stars Beware, not real Epson inks, only compatible, January 28, 2009

Makes you wonder about the integrity of the seller when the product description says "Genuine Epson Ink", then you read on the ready to buy page, in comments section "Sophia Global Inkjet cartridges....certified factory to be compatible... and "Best Quality Compatible".
You are lead to believe that these are real Epson inks and they aren't.
I have nothing against using ink made by someone other than the manufacturer, but one should know it and it should be very clear. The fact that the seller doesn't makes this completely clear, is worrisome.

Quality: good, no problem, but: Don't last long enough and cost way too much.

Problem: I have used the cheaper ($) inks in several different printers (HP and Epson currently) and hate to have to pay the higher prices of these inks, but darn it, I have had more trouble with the cheaper ones, often needing more head cleaning if not used frequently. One actually spilled out of its cartridge in my printer!

Usage: I only use my printers every so many days, not daily, so this is a problem for me. I find the more expensive printer manufacturer brands seem to work better under my usage. Bummer, hate the higher price. But...such is life.

The issue: The printer companys' live and die off their disposable sales, not the hardware. So, even once in a while you might want to support them if you like the printer. But, if anyone knows of a really GOOD third party ink supplier, let me know. Then I will probably use them. Competition needs to increase so the prices come down, especially on these newer printers that seem to EAT INK (like Epsons -- they are one of the "hungriest" I think).When the price of the printer becomes less than the cost to replace the ink something is wrong.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheaper when you buy separately, March 5, 2010

These are OEM inks, Epson branded, but you can get them cheaper when you buy them individually. No value here.
