Customer Rating: 
Summary: Short life span.
Comment: This cartridge works fine in my Epson Photo printer when using Epson photo paper, producing rich blacks. However, the cartridge is rapidly depleted with use. Also,if it's not used for a while, it requires a prolonged, ink-wasting head cleaning session. (just as with it's complimentary color cartridge).

Summary: Very good price, and I like the more compact packaging
Comment: This ink came in a box that was square, stackable, which is very
nice given my small apartment. The ink was intended for the Chinese market
but appears to be genuine.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Must change black & color cartridges at the same time
Comment: OK, I agree with everyone that Epson makes pretty good ink. Photos come out looking good, and they are archival inks as well. So far so good.
What irks me is that even if I've been overwhelmingly using black ink, when it is used up the printer won't start up until I replace both the black & color cartridges. In fact, Epson settled a class-action suit because the printer would require you to replace both cartridges EVEN WHEN THERE WAS ENOUGH INK LEFT IN THEM. So I ended up having to replace both cartridges when there was no reason to replace either of them, so Epson could sell more high-priced ink. What do I get out of it if I send in my claim? $40 in Epson products, or enough for one set of ink cartridges.
Well, I've bought the last Epson ink I'll ever buy, and the last Epson printer, too. What's the point of having separate cartridges if you have to change them at the same time? Epson has nothing to gain by abusing its customers.
I've since replaced my Epson inkjet with a Brother B&W network laser printer that I'm very happy with, and if I want color photos I upload them to my neighborhood drug store, where my photos are ready in one hour for less cost than printing them on Epson photo paper. If I want a color printer in the future it will be a non-Epson laser printer. Inkjets are a pain in addition to being expensive in the long run anyway.
