Well, after having to wait extra long for this to arrive (seller issue, not a product issue) my ink tanks finally showed up and I set about installing them.
First thing I noticed was that there were no directions. OK, not a big deal since they pretty much snap in just like the normal cartridge does.
Second, there was a little plastic film on the ends where it plugs in that was a bear to pull off... without having directions I just had to guess that yes, this film needed to come off.
Third, well... they are the same shape as in the picture but the ones in the picture are individually wrapped and have ink labels on them. The ones I got were wrapped together in bubble wrap and had no labels. No big deal, they are clear and so it is easy to tell what color goes where.
Fourth, you apparently don't get the little clip that triggers the ink door closed button. (these are big ink tanks so you can't close the ink door with them installed, but I knew that before buying) Now I had to find something to jam down in there to hold the button down... popsicle stick seem to do the trick.
At last, a little fiddling around with the plastic film and the popsicle stick and the printer is up and running. Took me all of 10 minutes I'd say.
At the moment, I am satisfied enough, happy the ink is made in the USA (says it is anyway) and hoping for good results for many prints to come...
So I'll leave this review as it is for now and if after I actually use this for a while and have some more thoughts... I'll come back and edit my review! ;-)
