Review of Epson Multipack T0487 - print cartridge (C13T04874010)

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...

Review of Epson Multipack T0715 - print cartridge (C13T07154010)

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...

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

...ink at least until the guarantee was up. Before you buy the multipack though it really is worth looking around to find the cheapest site or shop selling it. For instance, and I expect a lot of dooyoo readers will not be in the bit surprised by this, is that PC World is quite expensive. In fact £7 or £8 more expensive. Of all places to find exactly the same product and at the cheapest price was yes Tescos at £22.00. Plus of course you do get tesco card points! Yes even that sounds a lot of money but if you break it down to price each that is um £5.50 each which isnt bad. The Epson TO715 pack is for Epson Stylus D78/D92/D120/DX4000/DX4050,DX4400/DX4450/DX5000/DX5060/DX6000/DX6050/DX7000F/DX7400/DX7450/DX8400/DX8450/DX9400F/S20/SX100/SX105/SX200/SX205/SX400/SX405/SX600FW Epson Stylus Office: B40W?BX300F/BX600FW...

Review of Epson Multipack T0715 - print cartridge (C13T07154010)

Epson Stylus DX4000

Advantages: Great Quality
Disadvantages: No LCD Screen, No Fax

...way it saves you a lot of money so that the printer becomes even more cost effective. I find that buying cartridges from these kinds of places saves me a lot of money so that I can spend them on other things. There is a site on the internet that sells ink called ink cartridges direct that allows you to purchase ink for cheaper and every time you purchase a set of ink they send you an extra black cartridge for free, now that I have found this website I find that I'm never low on ink and its great. The printer itself is great value for money as well because it can be bought from Epson directly for £59.99 which means that it will be cheaper in other places such as Amazon.co.uk and other computer sites. I purchased my printer less than six months ago and I have never had a problem with it since the day I got it. It comes with a driver...

Review of Epson Stylus DX 4000

Epson Stylus Photo R285...Great Product

Advantages: Price, Quality, ease of use, gives you more control over pictures
Disadvantages: If just just want to print normal photos, still cheaper to use a photo shop

...As christmas presents go, here is one that I was definitely very pleased with, up until now I have only had a basic printer which I got a good 4-5 years ago, and obviously needed an upgrade! I have always been fond of Epson products, even though my old printer was old as I stated, I had never had any problems with it, which compared to some friends is a big plus, so when I was looking at getting a new (preferably) photo printer, I had decided on an Epson! Thankfully my partner had been listening to me when I had been dropping hints, and already, even though Ive only had it since christmas I have been extremly pleased with the quality and speed of the printer. You have to be a bit careful when getting a product like a printer, that you use the right ink cartridges and obviously if you want the best result you have to invest in...

Review of Epson Stylus Photo R285

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...

Review of Epson Multipack T0715 - print cartridge (C13T07154010)

Uses Epson C66 ink cartridges

Advantages: Cheap to buy, Cheap running costs, Good print Quality
Disadvantages: No good for printing on gloss paper

...I bought this printer because my Epson C66 died I paid £43 from ebuyer.com okay it doen't come with a usb cable but most printers don't and you can purchase them from as little as a £1 the D68 is just a C66 with a face lift it the print quality is very good not photo perfect one thing that should be noted is that if you planning to print on gloss paper get Epson R220 or above as when printing on gloss it tends bleed and run but it's very good on photo matt the build quality seems to be as good as the C66 I used about 70 sets of cartridges on my old C66 all none originals except the set that came with it another thing that I really like about this printer is thatthey take the C66 cartridges which are cheaper that buying the D68 cartridges even the compatable ones obviously Epson just change the part numbers to fool people into buying...

Review of Epson Stylus D68 Photo Edition

Roger Me Stupid, Cheap Inkjet Cartridges

Advantages: Cheap and Just As Good As Epson
Disadvantages: May Affect waranty

...The cost of inkjet cartridges is something that is close to my heart, and if I were to buy genuine Epson cartridges for my Epson Stylus D68 then it would cost me £25. This is an extortionate figure when you consider that that is half the cost of the printer!!!!!! So always on the hunt for a bargain I scoured the length and breadth of upper brook street in Manchester to find a suitable generic cartridge. The Mac and PC centre round the back of the Manchester Aquatic Centre had just that these babies cost me £12 for all four......... The E611 (Black), E612 (Cyan), E613 (Magenta), E614 (Yellow) fit Epson Stylus D68 / D88 series and DX3800/ DX3850/ DX4200 / DX4800/ DX4850 printers and at £3 a piece they have the potential for being a veritable bargain, which floats my Scottish boat. Installing them into the printer is as easy as pie you...

Advantages: Produces excellent high quality prints, Ideal for Professional Use
Disadvantages: Very expensive

...normal printers, but these are standard prices. You can recycle your old cartridges and have them filled up at specialist stores.
