The extortionate price of inks makes even the most cautious buyer, at least consider 'compatibles'. What can go wrong? It's just ink. Having had one cartridge from a refiller dump its contents in my printer I decided that I would have to play the game Epson's way and paid 'top dollar' price for years. Then, the memory of the incontinent cartridge and the hours of clearing up, having faded, I decided to try again. Bingo - these carts are the business! Full 'ninety' series measure and faultless performance.
