Advantages: Clear colours Disadvantages: A bit pricey
Printers are marvellous things when they work!We bought an Epson DX4000 a couple of years ago after problems with our HP printer. It was reduced in Tesco and as it is a photo copier and printer we thought it was a bargain but decided to check out the cost of the cartridges before buying.
We have used various makes of cartridges over the years for previous printers but had been having problems and always having to clean to get good printing so we were wasting ink.
We got sample size cartridges with the printer but bought a Multipack so we were ready when a replacement was needed. The Multipack has 4 cartridges, 1 of each black, yellow, magenta and cyan. The box is blue with a picture of a Cheetah and is in the Cheetah range, there are other ranges like Monkey. Hummingbird and Seahorse makinh it easy to spot the one you want to buy ...
Advantages: cheaper to buy 4 but can also buy singly Disadvantages: you have to look around for the cheapest as prices do vary
The inks are
Black T0711
Cyan T0712
Magenta T0713
Yellow T0714
Each pack comes in a vacuum wrapping and it is worth to not open until you need it.
To use you just pull off the yellow strip and just drop it into your printer. It really is as simple as that. Instructions do say to shake the ink cartridge 4 or 5 times before putting it in but I have forgotten to do that and panic stations, but it made absolutely no difference that I could see but perhaps I was just lucky.
These cartridges cannot be refilled and I have not yet seen any recycling place that it happy to receive them - probably just because they cannot be refilled.
How long do they last? Well that is like how long is a piece of string as it really does depend on the amount of printing that you do. The colours are all sharp and good though.
Summary

Advantages: excellent quality - perfect printing on most media including glossy Disadvantages: too expensive (priced the same as individuals) no savings for buying bulk
only the original epsonT0487 inks will provide the quality that one would expect.
PHOTO QUALITY - buy the original T0487 inks as they provide superb coverage with their 13ml per cartridge as opposed to many that only offer 7-8ml of ink they do go a long way, the colours are striking with excellence vibrancy and the black is rich and deep. A must have for photographic and other imaging works that require excellent quality and pleasing aesthetic finish.
TEXT etc. - buy compatible inks but be aware most of these inks will not be of the standard of the original and will not be suitable quality for printing on heavily coated surfaces such as glossy photo paper
These inks are designed for photo printers so if you are doing more basic printing then it may be worth buying a general printer too so as not to waste ink/paper & keeping ...
