EPSON T802 DURABrite Ultra -Ink High Capacity Black -Cartridge (T802XL120-S) for select Epson WorkForce Pro Printers

CRIMINAL! They're about the same price as the printer itself, and the worst part is that if the black ink runs out, the dang thing won't print because there's no magenta ink. That is extremely inconvenient. br>br>As a result, the ink cartridges themselves are fine and functional. If they were less expensive, I'd give them five stars. However, price is an important factor in determining a product's worth and value. AND THIS PRICE IS WAY TOO EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY That is, after all, the objective reality. This is way, way too high.

I'm not sure if this is a genuine Epson product, and I'm not sure where Amazon gets them, but it should double-check the source. br>br>It arrived in the appropriate box, but there was no protective yellow tape on the cartridge when I opened it (as there was on the printer's original cartridges). I tried printing it, but it wouldn't recognize it. The ink leaked all over when I took it out to replace it with one I bought locally (and the next few pages I printed looked like they had tire tracks on the edges). br>br>I started a return (these aren't cheap) and realized that what I got (in the XL box) was actually a single-use cartridge when I was putting it into a box to send. (That is, the cartridge is mislabeled, and I - as well as Amazon It had been charged as if it were an XL size). Someone has been fiddling somewhere because that is not a "mistake" Epson would make. I will not be purchasing ink from Amazon in the future.

These were purchased when I purchased the printer so that I would have a backup if the original cartridges ran out. I installed them and ran a few test pages yesterday. They ran out of ink almost immediately. All three colors are present. After just a few pages, I was hooked. I'm unable to return these because they were bought as back-ups in January. For three test pages, the price is $110.

It's not about the price. This ink has exceptional quality. The photos are beautiful, the text is crisp, and there is no bleed on standard white paper. I understand that printers are sold at a loss, and Epson compensates by selling ink. That is not an issue for me. But, seriously, the printer is more expensive than two packages.

I bought this item a few days ago and had it installed in my printer. According to the printer's maintenance testing, the printer heads needed to be cleaned. Without printing more than two test pages after two printer head cleaning cycles, the ink was 3/4 full. I'm not sure if this was caused by faulty cartridge cleaning cycles. Regardless, these cartridges are not worth the money because they run out far too quickly, so I'm probably going to throw the printer out and replace it with one that uses more reasonable printer cartridges. Due to the chip on the cartridge, which only allows a certain number of pages to be printed per cartridge, these cartridges may still have ink when the printer says they're empty.

It's a lot of ink, but for the price of two cartridges, I could get a brand new printer.

They're ridiculously expensive, so what should I do? Two Epson all-in-one printers are in my possession. one, and a WF- WF-3730 and WF-WF-WF-WF-W Both the 3740 and the 3740 use the same ink cartridges. The printers meet my needs and have replaced two Canon and HP all-in-one printers. a few more I don't do much printing, but twice a year I print a few hundred party invitations and envelopes for our homeowners' association. These full-length films are Because color invites use a lot of ink, especially the brighter colors, I started purchasing the XL versions. The good news is that: br>br> The cartridges are ridiculously easy to replace, fit perfectly, comply with Epson's internal software, and produce excellent prints. By a large margin, I believe the output is sharper and better than that of either of my previous printers. When compared to the image, photos on matte photo papers are also of excellent quality, with sharp definition and true color rendering, and even better on glossy paper. Unlike those enclosed in a clear plastic shell embedded in a much larger piece of cardboard, the cartridge packaging is relatively simple to open and does not necessitate the use of tools (scissors, kitchen knife, machete, chain saw). The disadvantages: br>br> Stupid, ridiculously expensive, even more expensive than XL cartridges for my previous printers. To be fair, I believe I get more copies, but I've never kept track to make an accurate comparison. And, as others have pointed out, if a color cartridge runs out, your printer is rendered useless, as even black-and-white printers are rendered useless. It will not be possible to print only. br>br>So, what are you going to do? If you only print on occasion and in small quantities, inkjet technology will serve you well, and you will accept the high cartridge costs as an unavoidable cost. Even in color, inkjets become uneconomical when compared to laser printing if you do a lot of printing. The higher cost of a laser printer will be offset by lower toner costs (toner cartridges are also expensive per printed page). I haven't reached that volume yet and don't plan to, so I buy the XL ink cartridges, whine about it every time, and go about my business.

Because it is so costly, you might want to try some compatible cartridges. They are still scarce at this time, but there are less expensive alternatives available.
