Advantages: Cheap and Just As Good As Epson Disadvantages: May Affect waranty
just slot them into the required slot and you are away. The ink level meters work as well as ever but it is noted that you are not using an Epson cartridge which could affect your warranty.
Comparing these babies against the Epson, by printing out a photograph I previously printed using Epson cartridges I can see no visible difference in quality, and there is the same lack of smudging. My only concern being now how long they last when compared to Epson cartridges...... That was easily tested by printing out a copy of my 130 page thesis that my former boss and now emeritus pain in the backside professor wanted a copy of. This takes up about 2/3 of most of the cartridges which was about the same as the Epson printers. So I can safely say that they are an absolute bargain, as they do the same job for half the price.

**** Other options? ****
Lexmark sell a moderate use black inkjet cartridge (the Z17). Don't go for this. Its rrp is £17.10 anc contains less than half of the ink of a Z16.
I gather that reconditioned (i.e. refilled) Z16's are available. I have never tried these, so cannot vouch for them.
However, I have recently started refilling Z16's myself. It is easy (I have been using a Tesco Value refill ...
