Epson - 252XL High-Yield Ink Cartridge - Magenta

We were thrilled when we purchased a new printer because this particular number of ink is readily available and easy to find. It has a nice, non-smear appearance on 20 weight paper. But, let me tell you a surprise that we had happen recently. If your cartridge runs completely dry during a long printing job, you might find you print head becoming covered with a light film or chemical. The problem comes when you insert the next full cartridge. For some reason, it will NOT print anything properly until you clean the print heads repeatedly. We're talking 3-4 times minimum. But, love the Epson printers over any HP that we've had. Ink is long lasting under normal use, including color cartridges. 252XL is excellent. But, discovered that 254XL works in our printer, too.

Ink last a long time, even printing pictures. I've never had a problem with these cartridges

The Epson 252XL Blank ink lasts a lot longer and gives you more pages per cartridge

Purchased this black Epson 252 recently and have never had probs before w this item. Since I installed a couple of weeks back, all copies and printed docs come out faded and sometimes with black lines on them. I don’t have receipt so assumed I was out of luck—can I please bring back w/o my receipt and exchange for another one to try?

Easy process to order and pickup. Price was better than expected to not be on sale. Installed and working great!
