This is basic black ink compatible with certain Epsom printers. Based on the price, compared to other black ink from Epsom and other brands, it seems likely that the printers that it works with are fading into obsolescence. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that the printer I inherited does not work--but at no fault of the ink. Time for a new printer.

This ink has very nice print quality. Always looks good and the cartridges are easy to use. Have tried comparable cheaper products, and sometimes they work alright, but sometimes they are terrible. The last cartridges I installed leaked badly and left smudges on the papers. I had to take them out. What a mess.The Epsom ink cartridges are pricey, but they always install cleanly and print beautifully.

The ink cartridges are easy to install, never messy when inserted into printer and dry immediately, so nothing ever smears on your paper.

True color, easy to remove cartage and just as easy to replace. Able to purchase individual color or a pack of colors. All cartage's are sealed for protection.

As a user of an Epson Stylus CX4800 printer, I find myself regularly replacing the ink cartridges, particularly the black cartridge, in what amounts to a legacy system (it's quite old, at least ten years). Fortunately, Epson continues to support their older hardware with supplies such as this. Text and graphic details stand out most impressively when printing goes normally, though with an older printer such as the CX4800 anything is possible. Not so much a recommendation as it is a requirement for those printers that still exist, and make use of these cartridges.
