    The genuine Epson ink offers incredible print quality, vivid colors, and very easy to install. But it is a bit expensive than other brand ink, and you cannot print anything when it’s running out of color ink only. Pros: incredible print quality, easy to installCons: used up in one month, a bit expensive

    Installation is very easy. I have been using these cartridges for about seven weeks now. Pleased that ink is lasting so long. Haven’t used for photos only paper printing.Pros: Good Color; installs easy; lasting longer than expectedCons: Wish they weren’t so expensive!

    It is nice to be able to only change the color on the printer when it was empty instead of changing the entire cartridge when only ONE color ran out therefore potentially saving money. Only problem is that these cartridges are rather small and run out of ink rather quickly. The colors are sharp and the ink looks good on paper but it runs out quickly.It is a bit cheaper to buy all these colors in a multipack instead of individually and that saves some money too. You’ll also need black ink too and I am not sure why that isn’t included in this multipack.Again, the ink colors look good and don’t smear or smudge.Pros: color crispness, easy installationCons: small size and empties quickly
