User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Not as good as Epson but OK
Even though Epson claims that there’s enough ink in their cartridges to print 100 photos I have found this to be not true especially if you only print interminantly. The problem is that I have come to collect a lot of extra paper and it is frustrating to pay $30 for an ink cartridge when you don’t really need the paper. The quality of this ink is similiar to the photo output of a regular printer - acceptable but it just does not have the vibrancy and subtle tonality of the epson ink. Its too be expected for an inexpensive product made in China, so considering the cost savings its not bad. I just wish Epson would sell the ink cartridge independently at a more affordable price!
added June 8th: Printed a B&W photo and I actually prefer to B&W taken printed with the epson ink!
2 Stars Didn’t work so well for me
I’m sorry to say this product didn’t meet my expectations. The first Inkjet cartridge only gummed up the inside of my Epson PictureMate and never was able to print a usable picture. The young man was very nice when I called to complain, and they immdiately sent a second cartridge to replace the bad one. The second one worked, but it still isn’t equal to the quality of the Epson Inkjet cartridges. The price is right, but like with so many things, you get the quality you pay for.
1 Star Lousy Product
I took a chance and threw my money away. I inserted the cartridge and the PRINTER DOOR WOULDN’T SHUT! What more can I say. It is annoying EPSON will not sell a stand alone cartridge, but going with a cheap knockoff is not the way to go. This product is so bad, it should be removed from the Amazon listing.
5 Stars Works Fine
I used this product instead of the Epson and it works fine. I had to go through the “this is not an Epson cartridge” screen, but so far, so good.
5 Stars Great Substitute for the Epson Ink
I took a chance on this inkpack after experiencing the frustrations with the Epson T5570 package mentioned by other reviewers….Ink runs out way before the paper, brand new cartridge shows 3/4 full, colors frequently fail due to clogged head (which can be fixed by printer maintenance cycle), price increased from $22 to 28….
Couldn’t be happier with this inkpack. Product arrived quickly, and picture quality is very good, can’t detect any difference in photo quality. Hasn’t even plugged up the print head so far!
Why is it these guys can make this at a good price and Epson can’t ?
