I print quite a few of my own photos on A4 glossy paper so I'm quite sensitive to the issue of accurate colour rendition. I can honestly say that when first used, these appear to produce colour photos as good as Epson's own cartridges...of course at a fraction of the cost!I use my cartridges in an Epson XP305 and there are no problems with any warning messages...the printer's circuitry seems to treat these as original Epson cartridges.I do have one reservation. I've not used my printer for about a month and the cartridges seem to have got blocked. Constant cleaning and recharging via my printer's menu is gradually clearing it but my sense is these cartridges are good but have a limited life once the seal is broken. If you print regularly, this shouldn't matter.

These cartirdges are of a good quality; easy to install and produce a high standard of printing. Photographs are excellent quality, and the cartridges are cheaper than the Epsom standard ones. No problems with them at all and I would thoroughly recommend them to others.

I've given these inks 5 stars because they derserve it. They arrived quickly and were well packed.I was a bit worried about buying ink that is MUCH MUCH cheaper than Epson, but am using them now and have had no problems at all + no nasty messages from the printer saying 'these aren't genuine Epson inks'.Print outs are the same quality as Epson inks for pictures/photos or documents -in fact documents print out so well (really clear and sharp) you'd never believe the ink wasn't made by Epson.I have printed out heaps of pages, the ink does seem to be lasting longer so all in all I would recommend this product and will use the inks again myself.

I have ordered these inks on 2 occasions.The first occasion they gave an *excellent* quality print out (I *always* print the same 2x test pages, color and bw on the same paper after I get a new set of inks to compare).The second recent order the print quality is POOR - and I mean the colours nothing to do with print alignment etc. - exactly the same test pages on the same paper and much poorer quality. I noticed the cartridges themselves are slightly different this time also.I would only recommend these inks if you are looking for cheap-and-cheerful and not too worried about colour quality. If you are just doing office prints you won't notice or care - but quality photo prints this is too random...

They would not work work at all with my XP-225 - could not get the printer to register any cartridges fittednot just the usual "using unrecognised ink" -not that cheap to bin when you take into account p&p

I purchased these as they're so cheap; I'm a student and have to do a lot of low quality document printing. When I ordered these inks I was a little worried about the printer not recognising them. Sure enough when I installed them the printer refused to acknowledge them, saying 'cartridges are not recognised'. I almost gave up and bought genuine inks, but I thought I'd check around the internet first to see if there were any fixes for this problem. I came across a YouTube video which explained that if the printer fails to recognise the inks, you should try to resolve the problem by taking the inks out, turning the printer off and back on, waiting for the printer to acknowledge that there are no inks and THEN inserting the 'compatible' inks.This method worked first time for me, and I was able to print off all my documents with no problems! For anyone who has similar issues I suggest trying this method, it reduced my printing costs so much! I've given these inks 4 stars because of the initial difficulty, but it would have been 5 stars otherwise.(P.S. My printer is an Epson XP-215)

I think this is the second or third time I've bought a pack of these. They are delivered quickly, and do exactly what they are supposed to do, The Epson software detects them as non-genuine, and tries to get me to purchase theirs instead, but I have never had a problem with these, and will continue to use them.

I have an Epsom XP- 305 . these cartridges fit perfectly and i honestly cannot tell the difference. Very good price too. The colour is exceptionally good, my machine didnt even notice it wasnt an epsom product. The package came superfast and well packaged too. I will most definately use this company again.Very happy customer :))))))
