Since I purchased my Epson printer in January 2013, I have had to replace this black toner cartridge four times and I have not printed more than 300 B & W pages. I notice that the new cartridges do not weigh more than the empty ones and now feel that Epson is distributing almost empty cartridges. The last black cartridge showed that it was full until I printed out a couple of test pages. The ink capacity then indicated that I had used up one quarter of the cartridge. I am now investigating using compatible toner from other manufacturers which could not be worst that the crap that Epson is putting out. In addition, this problem exists with the other colors needed to operate my printer. Even if I don't use my printer in a few days, the ink seems to evaporate. I know printer companies sell their printers cheap and get the customers back with the price of the ink, but my printer was not cheap. I can only print out four or five photos before I get replace toner alerts, and the quality of color photos are muddy and awful. I picked my Epson printer because it had scanner/copy/fax capability, but realize that my simple HP printer and ink gives higher quality printing as compared to Epson. Stay clear of Epson printers.

I love Epson printer ink. It comes out very crisp and clear. Better, even, than any printing store out there.

This is the original product from Epson and, no surprise, it works well with my XP-800. It's also more expensive than third parties. I noticed that some reviewers were complaining for the ink not lasting for very long. This is true and there are two explanations. First, Epson hopes to make some money by selling the printers cheap and then charging a lot for the ink or giving you very little ink for the cartridge. Whether we like it or not, most printer makers are doing this. The alternative is 'third party' cartridges that are less expensive and that may or may not work well. The second explanation is that this is the PHOTO black (PBK) cartridge, not meant to be used when printing black and white pages. The printer WILL be using the PBK if the regular black cartridge is empty so make sure that the BK has ink.

Apparently there are some high capacity cartridges and their code is 273XL. I couldn't find them at Amazon.

Very good quality-the pictures turned out beautifully. The ink does not last very long, unfortunately. We did not have it very long before it ran out.
