I was searching for genuine Epson ink replacement for my Workforce 610.I've gotten burnt buying from unknown sources [i.e. getting ink cartridges that were close to the expiration]. Found the best price at Amazon.com and i got free super saver shipping to boot.Received it fast and its expiration is two years from now. Amazon.com has earned my trust time and time again. Epson DURABrite Ultra Ink Cartridges (68) - Dual Pack High-Capacity Black (T068120-D2)
Epson has constructed their printers so that they will not work at all after the printer memory decides that the ink is low. Who knows how many pages could be printed until the cartridge is actually empty. The Epson ink works well. No problems with an inoperable cartridge so far. Ink flow starts easily and dries quickly without smudging. However, it seems to me that there is not much ink in the cartridge as compared to my old HP printer cartridges. I am buying the "68" size since the smaller "69" doesn't last long enough to even be worth considering. My advice is to buy the HP printer, but if you already have the Epson you are stuck. The positive side is the cartridge works very well and you will be changing them frequently (which is very easy to do).
that doesn't last very long. High-capacity lasts longer than standard, but if I could do it again, I would never have bought an Epson printer. There no way to use third party products and the ink is expensive.
I've always ordered from Epson but decided to give Amazon a try to save some money. I was VERY pleased. It was the same quality I purchased from Epson, but the prices were much better. I was able to get free shipping through Amazon whenever I needed to order but I had to wait for special offers from Epson for free shipping....and often needed it when there were no free shipping offers.
I've owned Epson printers for years and the biggest reason is the low cost of re-inking. Some brands will make you spend obscene amounts for new ink cartridges, sometimes well in excess of the cost of the printer itself. The price I received here was much cheaper than going down to my local office supply store. I even got free shipping.
The Epson print quality has always been outstanding as well. The Durabright Ink gives wonderful color renditions and seems to last without fading throughout the years. I am still impressed at the very first Epson prints I made from my first 1 megapixel digital camera. They still look as good as the day I printed them. I'm very happy with my Epson products.
Okay, so I give into the little voice saying "you should only buy GENUINE Epson inks" eventhough I know the quality is "good enough" and the price is way better with the knock offs.
Buy the double pack of black and what happens? TEN PAGES PRINTED; that's it, no more, no big black backgrounds, just standard stuff and the Black quits on me.
Shake it, bake it, beg it to print and I get NADA, ZERO, GOOSE EGG, DONUT.
20 years of using Epson products with relatively little hassle BUT NEVER AGAIN!!
Where's that website for HP?
Works as expected. It's an Epson-brand cartridge, and I use it in an Epson printer. Like all the other inkjet cartridges, it's a huge ripoff. I only have an inkjet for occasional color printing, but my workhorse is a Brother network laser. MUCH cheaper to operate, MUCH faster, and very reliable. If you mostly do black and white printing or text, the monochrome laser will pay for itself compared to the black ink cartridges you'll go through.
I brought this item because I do a lot of printing. I must say I've had no problems with it and I've used it 1 month straight so far. Installation was also a breeze. My printer recognized the catridge and I was off to priniting. No complaints over here. - Epson High Capacity Ink - Inkjet Printer - Epson 69 Ink Cartridge - Printer Cartridge'
