I have an EPSON STYLUS DX 4050 and needed to replace the coloured ink. I puchased an Epson Multipack through Amazon. After installing the coloured inks I was informed by Epson’s software that:
a) The yellow ink T0714 was genuine.
b) The installed cartridge is incompatible with this printer.
If only one of the cartridges becomes empty (or is reported as incompatible due to a faulty chip) then this printer becomes unusable.
Epson customer service said that the troublesome cartridge would have to be sent to Telford for testing. If found faulty it would be replaced. Meanwhile, if I wished to use my printer I should purchase more Epson ink!
I contacted Amazon who immediately replaced the Multipack. The new ink cartridges work and I can print again.
I have discovered by this experience that replacing Epson cartridges can actually disable my printer.You may wish to purchase back-up ink
Full Marks to Amazon. None to Epson.

Inkjets are notoriously expensive to run and ink is the main consumable cost. I have an excellent Epson DX 4050 and the new inks are certainly impressive and durable. However, the cartridges are relatively small in volume and a few big photos can take a heavy toll on the inks. My local shop charges me £7.99 for a cartridge. This pack from Amazon means that each cartridge costs about £4.63. It doesn’t take a genius to see that this is a cracking deal. Bless you, Amazon!

The High Street price for the T7015 multi-pack is scandalous. Often up around the £38 mark in specialist computer shops. I was tempted on 2 occasions to try ‘compatible’ cartridges from 2 different supermarkets (hits back pocket twice). BIG MISTAKE. I thought my printer was packing up when I put them in, the quality was awfull. For ‘Compatibles at bargain prices’ read ‘It will fit in the slot and squirt coloured ink onto the paper’. Pay the Amazon prices for the genuine product, that’s the real bargain.
Update to the review Oct 09: – just received a cartridge from Bentham Ltd, all packaging had been removed including the airtight sealed wrapper that protects the cartridge from damage and drying out. I asked for a replacement but received an email from them saying that they employ people to remove packaging for ease of posting.
Epson actually print a warning on the inner bag “Open this package only when you install the enclosed cartridge. For best printing results use up this cartridge within 6 months of opening the package”.
My request for a replacement was declined.
How do I know if it is an original or a refilled cartridge? In short, I don’t.
Amazon should stop Sellers removing packaging that is pictured in the item details.
God knows what you’d receive if you ordered a box of chocolates.

Having previously used compatible inks in a previous epson printer I always experience that the Printer heads needed cleaning nearly every time I used it this made it highly wasteful of the inks and therefore, false economy. The printer never worked properly even when I reverted to Epson cartridges. So when I purchased a new Epson printer I vowed I would only used Epson cartidges. Since doing this I don’t have any more problems with the heads needing cleaning.

Epson original ink jet cartridges can be cripplingly expensive and have driven me to switch to cheaper compatible cartridges from other suppliers varying results. My Epson SX400 combined printer seems spooked by Epson to display a message saying the printer cannot recognise the cartridge often during the life of a so-called compatible cartridge. What it means is I’m not going to do another thing for you until you buy my maker’s expensive original cartridge. you take the machine to an Epson service agent you are in more trouble because as soon as they discover the non-original cartridges in the machine they tell you that you have invalidated your warranty so you get more charges and they may even tell you, like I was, that the machine has failed because of using the wrong ink so buy a new one Now for the good news. You can buy them about half price online though to get the best deal you may have to have your order split by Amazon to get the cheapest price for each colour but I have found it works smoothly so far. The postage and packing costs sometimes are as expensive as the cartridge but overall I reckon I’m saving 50% on the cost, my printer is happy because it’s being fed original cartridges and I am not being held to ransom with the price. Until Epson realise there is a recession on and cut their prices to an attractive level this is the way I am going to shop for my cartridges.
