No cheating with this Epson Cheetah!

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...

Review of Epson Multipack T0715 - print cartridge (C13T07154010)

T0715 for Epson printers

Advantages: cheaper to buy 4 but can also buy singly
Disadvantages: you have to look around for the cheapest as prices do vary

...We have a very good Epson DX6000 printer. This printer takes 4 separate inks. This comes in handy when just one colour gets low. I know its low because when I go to do some printing I will get a low ink flashing sign come up and it will then show me how much ink is left and roughly how much copying I can do before it finally runs out. It will also tell me which ink is low. I print off a lot of photographs so it is not just the black ink that runs out but the coloured ones as well. When we first had the printer we did notice that some non epson inks were cheaper and we did think of buying them. We were then informed that if we used these on this printer that was still under guarantee they might refuse to honour the guarantee as we had not used their own brand of ink. We therefore decided to stick to Epson...

Review of Epson Multipack T0487 - print cartridge (C13T04874010)

Why buy an Epson cartridge over a cheaper make?

Advantages: Great print quality from this cartridge.
Disadvantages: Can be pricey depending where you buy it from.

...The T036 black ink cartridge is suitable for the following printer models (all Epson of course): Epson Stylus C42 Plus (this is my model)/C42S/C42SX/C42UX/C44 PLUS/C44UX. My black ink cartridge ran out and I went to my local Rymans to buy another. It cost £17.99 from that particular store but I know you can purchase it much cheaper (for as little as £3) if you shop around. I got home and followed the on screen instructions for changing the cartridge. They were really straightforward, it tells you how & when to remove the old cartridge, when to remove the new one from it's protective plastic packaging (taking care not to touch the little electronic chip on the side), when to remove the yellow tab that is attached to the cartridge and how to insert it. Et voila job done in a jiffy! The quality of the black ink once printed onto...

Review of Epson T036 - print cartridge (C13T036140)

Epson Especial

Advantages: High quality, lasting images
Disadvantages: Cost

...An ink cartridge is not really something to wax lyrical about is it? This magenta is designed for a few Epson printers, and I use it for my Epson Stylus C84. Sorry Epson, but I use compatibles from time to time, which do the donkey work perfectly well, much cheaper. I can have a compatible from Jettec for £4 while I pay about £7.99 in PCW for the real thing from Epson. Having said that, I recognize the quality of Epson and like to use one of their own brands every so often. They are readily available, easy to insert, prevent irritating messages - like "the cartridge you are using is not a genuine Epson T0453 - do you wish to continue using it ?", and always work well. Colours are very sharp, the ink dries instantly and never seems to fade. But they do not last as long as Jettec - which have an extra 30% as well, and are...

Review of Epson T0453 - print cartridge (C13T045340)

Genuine Epson Ink Black T0481 better or not

Advantages: great photo quality & long print run
Disadvantages: expensive

...over 500 sheets but obviously it all depends on what you are printing, I work in the digital imaging field and this series lasts alot longer that the black cartridges used in the D series printers for instance. The T0481 epsom cartridge holds 13ml of ink and like i said lasts noticably longer than many other cartridges PRICE Epson £15.34 as of 17/07/09 & Just Ink & Paper - £13.89 Free pp If printing on glossy photo paper I would recommend that you use only the original T0481 black cartridge to ensure the ink stays put on the paper, if you use ink that does not dry as fast and has a lower quality it will degrade even before the print has dried thus the picture would end up in the bin so don't waste your money on poor quality. Photo quality prints demand the T0481 however if you just need to print on copy paper, text etc...

Roger Me Stupid, Cheap Inkjet Cartridges

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. The only downside is...

Review of Inkrite Inks for Epson - print cartridge (IREB3401)

Makes My Stylus, Stylish!

Advantages: last long, can be bought from many electrical shops, uses Durabrite ultra Ink
Disadvantages: a bit expensive when outght as a multi pack

...We just recently bought a new Epson stylus DX7400 printer as our old one stopped printing for some reason. Our new printer takes the T series Epson ink. To make everything a bit easier we just bought a T0715 multi pack ink package which comes with four ink cartridges. The T0715 can also be used with other Epson stylus models including the DX4450, DX4000, DX9400F, DX4050 etc. The Epson T0715 will come with four colour ink cartridges. This includes the T0711 which is the black ink, T0712 which is the cyan colour, T0713 which is the magenta colour and T0714 which is the yellow colour. The Epson T0715 multi pack is rather expensive as we bought it for £29.99 in PC world, I guess its not that expensive if you divide that by four, as it will work out to be around £7.50 per cartridge, which I think is not too bad considering the quality...

HP45 Print Cartridge

Advantages: Print quality, ease of use
Disadvantages: Too expensive

...This print cartridge is designed for use with the Hewlett Packard P 700, 800, 900 and 1100 series of Deskjet printers. We have a couple of 840C printers at my work place and we get through a fair amount of these HP45 cartridges! The HP45 is a black ink cartridge with a 42ml capacity. The lifespan on this cartridge will vary greatly according to the printing mode and resolution used on the printer. This toner will retail at around the £20-£22 mark depending on which supplier you use. The cartridge comes in a small cardboard package. It is held in place by a cardboard surround that can sometimes be a bit of a battle to remove, depending on which way up you open the packaging! In Use To make the cartridge ready for fitting into the printer, you first need to remove a plastic strip from the bottom of the cartridge. This...

Review of HP 45 - print cartridge (51645GE)

Much better Than Ink Refills, Worthy of the investment

Advantages: superb quality printing, non fade/smudge
Disadvantages: n/a

...After using cheap ink refills in our epson printer and seeing the loss of quality, I opted to buy the real deal and get this multipack of epson inks that are compatible with our printer. I was a little worried that I was paying too much for this multipack considering it was just under £28 but when you divide this by the amount of cartridges it works out about £7 per cartridge which isnt too bad for ink in the grand scheme of things. I used to have to perform printer cleaning very regularly which I can only pinpoint to the poor quality ink refills that I used, but now using the genuine cartridges the difference is night and day. You get four colours in the box - Cyan, Magenta, Black and Yellow, with the black ink having a slightly bigger capacity than the others as it gets used more often. The cartridges are so simple to install after...
