Makes you wonder about the integrity of the seller when the product description says "Genuine Epson Ink", then you read on the ready to buy page, in comments section "Sophia Global Inkjet cartridges....certified factory to be compatible... and "Best Quality Compatible".

You are lead to believe that these are real Epson inks and they aren't.

I have nothing against using ink made by someone other than the manufacturer, but one should know it and it should be very clear. The fact that the seller doesn't makes this completely clear, is worrisome.

These are OEM inks, Epson branded, but you can get them cheaper when you buy them individually. No value here.

Best Deals for GENUINE EPSON R800 R1800 Full Ink Set of 8

Quality: good, no problem, but: Don't last long enough and cost way too much.

Problem: I have used the cheaper ($) inks in several different printers (HP and Epson currently) and hate to have to pay the higher prices of these inks, but darn it, I have had more trouble with the cheaper ones, often needing more head cleaning if not used frequently. One actually spilled out of its cartridge in my printer!

Usage: I only use my printers every so many days, not daily, so this is a problem for me. I find the more expensive printer manufacturer brands seem to work better under my usage. Bummer, hate the higher price. But...such is life.

The issue: The printer companys' live and die off their disposable sales, not the hardware. So, even once in a while you might want to support them if you like the printer. But, if anyone knows of a really GOOD third party ink supplier, let me know. Then I will probably use them. Competition needs to increase so the prices come down, especially on these newer printers that seem to EAT INK (like Epsons -they are one of the "hungriest" I think).When the price of the printer becomes less than the cost to replace the ink something is wrong.

Honest reviews on GENUINE EPSON R800 R1800 Full Ink Set of 8

This is good. It is much too much money for it. I love my printer but it is expensive. I have no complaints about Amazon. In fact, I need some more ink.

There has been a lot of price variation on this ink set, from very low to higher than the cost of the 8 cartridges bought separately. It appears that when you order at a very low price, you get ink whoose expiration date has passed. In my case, the price was about 1/3 the current listed price. The ink was shipped without the original box, but in the original heavy plastic shrink wrapped inner packaging. The packing slip said that the ink was genuine, but past its expiration date. Since there is no date on the inner wrapping, there is no way to tell how far past expiration it is. I have no major problem with this as the price was extremely low and I have used ink in the past which was way past the expiration date with no apparent issues, as long as it is kept air-tight. I do think Amazon should list it separately from boxed, fresh ink in the complete original packaging. The seller I bought from had several different prices during the 2 weeks or so I was price-checking, and they sold out quickly when they were listed. Perhaps the price depends on how old the ink is. With these caveats, I am satisfied with the purchase. Delivery was extremely fast, although a bit pricy, and the product was as described, since, technically, no claim was made that the ink was fresh.
