I have used other types of ink in my epson printer and had nothing but trouble with them. Either the printer would not recognize the cartride or I would get poor quality prints or they would run out way before they should. In the end I found that it is better to spend the extra money on the real epson ink. The quality is much better.

B&H has the best price for this product. I will be re-ordering from here. The ink is good, it has great color and quality on any kind of photo paper.

I switched to brand name yellow ink because my printer heads kept clogging up when I used the cheaper yellow ink.

I use my epson prints mostly as outdoor posters/pictures & others have run off the paper Epson stands out spotless, but you must use epson paper with the ink to get these great results. Bit pricing & sometimes hard to find.

I use this ink only with my R260 printer. Just getting back into photography after about 5 years and was looking to use my existing printer. I started it up and it worked flawlessly with the older ink cartridges so I ordered more ink from B&H. The best prices and quick delivery makes it super easy.

I love buying the multipack of ink and having it around for when the next color goes out. Much better than buying an individual ink cartridge every single time one goes out. So far I’ve only used one of the colors, but it functioned perfectly!

I always like my pictures to render consistently. I use ink manufactured by my printers manufacturer.

I learned that the difference between the 77 and 78’s is not just in price but in quantity of prints you get out of the ink and the lifetime of the cartridge in general. For a few more dollars it’s worth just getting the 77 cartridge. But it’s still good at what it’s meant to do- print things- although if you print lots of photos you may not get much out of it.

Great ink! Wish it lasted longer!

I use mostly black ink for printing on my Epson Artisan 50, so I go through black faster than other inks. No problems with this product, just would prefer a larger size.

I use this ink for printing DVDs. It consistently produces professionally looking artwork . B&H consistently offers competitive pricing and fast shipping.

well, there is really no other choice if you want to print black with an r380. and it’s a great ink. i just get tired of paying more for ink than i would for perfume.

I think it works just fine. No problems yet.

I do wish they carried the high-capacity 77 line, but the 78 black works well. Looks good, prints black. Easy to replace.

My printer uses 6 colors, so this is the most reasonably priced place for these inks.I definitely recommend purchasing here.

We are an independent film production company and we use these cartridges in our printers. They have always proven to be reliable. The provide great color reproduction.

As a photojournalist, I often need to burn CDs for clients. I use an Epson Artisan 50 inkjet printer and printable CDs. From experience, I’ve learned that third party ink is problematic and therefore false economy. Therefore, I now use only genuine superior Epson ink in my printer because it’s… well… superior. Besides, a trouble free printer saves time and time is money. Hence… cost justified!
