    Affordable ink that needs replacing often

    Good pricing for this item but it doesn’t last very long. Probably comparable to other inks in this price category though. Best Buy usually has the best pricing and availability.

Questions & Answers
  • I have a XP-440 Epson printer. Is it necessary to have the red, yellow, & blue if I just want to use black ink? How do I set it up to run on black only? I don’t have computer, only use an i-pad. Thanks.

    Hi Bullie, It is necessary that all ink cartridges be installed and have at least a minimal amount of ink. This prevents air bubbles from getting into the XP-440's permanent print heads. Air bubbles can cause nozzle clogs and potentially damage the heads. If you use the free Epson iPrint app, you have the option of selecting monochrome to print in black and grayscale rather than color. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.

  • Can I use 288 ink in my do-4105 printer?

    Hi, This is Eduard from Epson. No. The Epson Expression Home XP-4105 small-in-one printer is only compatible with 212 or 212XL ink cartridge. Hope this answers your inquiry. Regards, Eduard - The Epson Team.

  • Is the 288 and 288-I cartridge the same? Is the 288 cartridges compatible with Epson XP – 330, as Best Buy suggested ? I'm trying to insert the 288 and the printers not recognizing the cartridge, the cartridge that's being replace is a 288-I

    The I stands for "Initial". Just to get you started. and then when you purchase the 288 that has more capacity

  • I want to purchase a black ink cartridge for my Epson XP430 printer. I do not see the option of purchasing just black, for the XP430, cartridge 288XL. I see a black cartridge for Epson 288 but not for 288XL. Will the 288 black cartridge fit the 288XL?

    yes, the XL just means it is the larger of the ink cartridges giving you more pages.

  • I have an Epson XP440 printer and am looking to get just the black cartiage will any of the 288 fit my printer?
