Epson Inkjet Cartridges, Black/Yellow/Magenta/Cyan, Standard Capacity

I bought this ink for a new Epson XP-7100 to print occasional photos. Black and white photos are clearly B&W, with no hint of sepia or other brown smudge. All colours are bright and give photos plenty of snap cracklle and pop. Although I only occasionally print photos the printer has so far shown no signs of clogging up with ink drying in the printer head. Very nice and very expensive.

Genuine parts work as expected however there is a premium to pay as a result.

Great value for money

How can you go about reviewing a set of printing inks? They either work or they don't, so its all really down to cost and quality. Most Epson products are pretty good, but in spite of regular maintenance, of the four printers I've owned in the XP 500 Series, each failed well within their guarantee period and all with the same flaw -- a reservoir pad that needed replacing -- usually at about £57, which is nearly as much as the cost than a complete new unit. Is that the life they are designed to have, I wonder? Bin it and get a new one , and with any of those comes a set of 'free' set up inks, albeit each with a special lowered capacity, so they run out in a week or so and you need to tin out yet again! You can attempt to change the pad yourself if you feel you're skilled enough, but its a VERY messy job that could so easily go wrong. Why don't Epson's technicians design a unit that'll improve the length its life of the unit because a flooded pad is an obvious regular flaw? Epson inks are a ridiculously high price, more expensive in fact than any fine lady might spend on the very best perfume, and more even than it costs to fill up my car with fuel. They put it down to the cost of long term development, but they've certainly got you by the short and curlys -- so what can you do?
