I have owned an Epson Stylus CX4400 printer for the last few years and have purchased my ink from both … and directly from Epson.Pros:- Good Print Quality (No smearing/smudging)- Extremely easy to replace- Relatively low cost per cartridgeCons:- Cartridge LifeExplanation: After several years of use I never could get over the fact that I was constantly replacing my black ink cartridges. I use my printer in black-ink only mode primarily for printing papers and reports. Recently, I decided I would test out just how many pages of full text (no images or charts involved) by printing the 10-K financial statements of a publicly traded company.My results were quite disappointing. I was unable to print the entire 10-K using a BRAND NEW ink cartridge purchased from …. The ink cartridge ran out and I was prompted for replacement after just 130 pages of full text. Considering the ink cartridge cost me $ it comes out to a cost of roughly 11 cents per page in ink alone. Paper costs roughly 2 cents per sheet in my location. Factoring in the cost of paper I estimate that the cost of printing black-only full text documents is a little over 13 cents per page. When you compare that against statistics of competitors printers and ink cartridges, it becomes clear that the cost of printing (with this cartridge/printer combination in particular) is pretty abysmal.

Bought new Epson Stylus CX4400 series printer and it’s an all in one printer – works great at an exeptinal price and it’s great that you can interchange black and color print, so using more basic printing feature the cartdrige is easy exchangeable at a great price as well.

This is my second time to order this product from B & H. They are fast, reliable and easy to buy from. This product is half the cost of Best Buy prices and I save the time and energy of traveling to the store for 1/2 the price.
