Good quality and great value for money

These cartridges are great value for money, well reviewed and capable of print quality close to Epson originals. However compatibility might not be all that is claimed. I installed a set into my XP-405 with no issues, other than a few cleaning cycles needed to expel all air from the print head to achieve a clear image. They worked well for a short time, but then on next power-up the printer showed a general 'fatal' error with no code or explanation - 'Turn power off and back on again'. This apparently can be caused by paper jams, sensor faults, or just breakdown but is not usually associated with ink cartridges. In my case, after lots of investigation and almost writing off the printer as dead, the cause was proven as failed cartridge recognition. The only fix to this error (for my machine at least) was to power up from cold (mains off then on) with no cartridges fitted, wait for the warning when they all detect as absent, then introduce them to the machine one at a time ensuring the error for each colour in turn clears. I found this necessary even when installing a second set, but the technique could perhaps be used to diagnose which of the cartridges is causing the error. I had already discarded the first set to try an alternative brand, but NOTHING worked to clear the fault until I proceeded as described. The above might well apply to many other compatible cartridges with similar ink level chips - just something XP-405 owners may wish to be aware of in case they have a similar experience.

Replaced three out of four cartridges to a Epson XP 312, instructed printer it was OK to use non genuine Epson cartridges when it came up on display, waited for printer to go through it's printer dance routine. Then ran clean printer heads as machine as not been used for a while, most documents can be sent electronically now days, then printed off test page which was fine and printed off four A4 sheets of forms that must, and are not ecofriendly, have to be posted to one of our so called eco friendly pushing government departments, you couldn't make this stuff up.

Completely compatible with my Epson printer. Good value for money as they are easy to install, they last as long as OE cartridges and the print quality is great.

Finding it difficult to find Epson cartridges for my aging printer, these cartridges are very good and reasonably priced for XL,Epson XL's were very expensive, cartridges extended life unknown, should last a long time.

These ink cartridges are not genuine Epson products but they worked okay and produced satisfactory standard of print and colour photos. There was a slight problem when I replaced only one colour, there was and error code 01 that came up. The only way to rectify this was to change all cartridges with the ones purchased and accepting that these were not original by the printer.

Why did you choose this product over others?: Works well with my printer! I buy these all the time

Very pleased with the cartridges quality of colour very good would buy again
