I've tried various brands of replacement cartridges for the Epson 740, and this is the only one that I've deemed worth purchasing.

I tried this ink, because I go through so many ink cartridges and it gets SO expensive. I wanted to save some money. I truly couldn't tell that I was using not using an Epson cartridge. Anybody who wants to save some money should try it.

like rhino's color cartridge for my epson 740, this one seems indistinguishable from epson's cartridge. using epson's nozzle check, it showed no gaps after 20 pages of printing color prints. (no clogs). a great cost effective substitute.

I ordered both the color and black cartridges for my Epson 860 and immediately discovered I had to clean the cartridges numerous times to get them to print. This routine must be completed (while wasting much ink and paper) or the black leaves dime-sized splotches on the paper and the color does not print with all colors. I will be buying the genuine Epson from now on although they are more expensive. I've learned you get what you pay for.

My experience with Rhinotek B/W and color ink cartridges on an Epson PhotoEX (6-color inkjet printer) was a disaster. Clogged print heads are a major problem, especially with black, but also with color. I lost more time and money on wasted paper and ink (cleaning cycles) than I could have ever saved on this so-called cost-effective alternative. Going back to original Epson cartridges solved these problems immediately.

Bottom line: Stick with Epson ink for optimal results and lowest cost per print.

This completely clogged. No matter how many head cleanings, I can't get anything black to print. It must have congealed or something. Would not buy again. Would strongly suggest to you if you're not planning on using all the ink at once, do not buy this ink.

Printing quality was as good or better than 'name' brand. Unfortunately, the cartridge lasted for half as many pages/jobs as the Epson equivalent.
I got what I paid for.

I have been using the Rhinotek cartridges for a while and cannot tell any difference between theirs and Epson's (other than the price). A great cartridge. I know there are several cheaper brands on the market, however I am so satisfied with Rhinotek that I'll continue to use their products.

I tried the Rhinotek brand RBE189, and it was just as good as the Epson, I forgot I was using something other than Epson, until I took it out to replace it with another Rhinotek cartridge.

I bought this for my Epson 1160. It is perfect on MATTE paper, however, takes a long time to dry for glossy paper.
