Must change black & color cartridges at the same time
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.

Free shipping makes the difference
Finding printer ink in my small town is impossible. Instead of driving an hour or so, I decided to find a place to order online. Prices on Amazon are fairly comparable to other sites, but I've had good success with ordering from Amazon in the past and I felt more comfortable ordering my ink from them. Free shipping sealed the deal. I didn't need them overnight, so I could take advantage of the free ground shipping...and they even arrived a bit earlier than the estimated date of arrival given when I ordered. I was able to track the shipping so I knew to look for them early.

Use only Epson Ink and your printer will last a long time
Works fine on 15 year old Epson Stylus Photo 1280.We only buy Epson ink but even doing this the nozzles have clogged and this is our last shot - if we can't get them cleaned with this last cartridge, it's time for a new printer.The original Epson ink is the best - only - ink to use.Some say shake the ink before using, some say shake only the black but not the color ink.Be sure to check that the ink is well within its expiration date. We always ask for expiry date before purchasing.

Excellent supplier for this ink cartridge
The supplier of this ink cartridge is excellent and I will buy again. It is great to still get these cartridges for my printer. It worked well.

Prefer OEM over Generic
Epson cartridges are my preference over the cheaper generic cartridges. Since I am partial to Epson Printer, I have owned only Epson, and experimented with generic cartridges which although they perform admirably, the difference is seen in high quality photos. While using the highest print settings generic cartridges produce some hues that strongly effect photos of people, facial tones are uneven. This makes you look like a bad photograher to the unknowledgable. With the Epson cartridges this problem does not exist, so if that happens while using OEM clean you printer nozzles, and make sure you have an ample ink supply by checking your printer properties... you may be low on one or more colors. And yes BLACK is a key component in photo printing.

Overpriced ink works.
I use the Epson T007201 ink on my venerable Epson Stylus Photo 900. It works well, though I occasionally have to do a "head cleaning" run if it sits awhile.Like all printer ink, it is horribly overpriced. Equally annoying are the "low ink" warnings you receive LONG before the cartridge is empty. I can still print out 100+ pages of text after the first warning. As if we weren't getting gouged enough . . .
