With average use, this cartridge barely lasts a month.

I was, at first, delightfully surprised by how affordable Epson ink is compared to HP. ...only to find out that, under average use, this cartridge has only a fraction of ink the (seemingly) more costly cartridges have. I'd rather pay more for a greater sum of ink. Then I'd only have to shop for & replace cartridges 2-3 times a year. At this rate, I'll be shopping every few weeks & lifting the hood to replace them as often.

What's worse is that, if magenta, yellow or cyan run low, THE PRINTER WON'T ALLOW YOU TO PRINT WITH YOUR FULL BLACK CARTRIDGE. So, I'm forced to buy magenta, just to use my full black cartridge. If I ran short on color, my HP would allow me to use black. If I ran short on black, I could use blue.

I'm also quite turned-off by the misleading name. There is nothing 'ultra' about a tiny cartridge that doesn't even last a month. Epson offers a "High Capacity" ink which I've only found at Office Depot & Epson's site. It has twice the ink. What's that, a whopping 6-7 weeks of printing?

WF-2540 is a nice, affordable printer, but these tiny cartridges & their misleading names are a disappointment. I miss my old HP printer. I'd change the ink, print til my heart's content & wouldn't have to worry about ink for months. That printer lasted ten years.

This ink is no more affordable than others. You get what you pay for little price, little ink. It's just rather inconvenient.

Because of the ink, I'm now selling my Epson on Craigslist & going back to HP>

These cartridges are very inexpensive, especially if you buy multi packs. They're decent for most printing jobs, but not necessarily for true color printing of photos that you want to display or keep permanently.

The package is misleading. The "ultra-standard capacity" just means that these are standard capacity cartridges. I'm not sure what the "ultra" is all about.

I noticed that even though my computer showed the estimated ink level to be 50%, the printer was telling the computer that it could not print because the cartridge was out of ink.

Still, ounce for ounce and page for page, I think these cartridges are cheaper than the HP ink cartridges. I finally scrapped HP after getting tired of buying ridiculously expensive ink cartridges, not being able to print B&W when there was plenty of black ink, but no cyan; warnings that using third party ink cartridges voided the HP warranty; and having a printer driver that was flakey at best with Windows 7 (and Vista before that).

The bottom line is these cartridges are inexpensive, and in the long run, I think they're adequate for a basic printer (school projects, home office printing, etc.).

Nice to have all colors in one box, except I wish it had black. These cartridges just do not last long at all.

Honest reviews on Epson T200520 DURABrite Ultra Standard-Capacity Color Multipack Ink

So, I was in Walmart and I remembered I needed ink. I went to their supply and although there were 50 different options, they were out of the one I needed. I got on Amazon immediately in front of the rack and found this for $2 cheaper than Walmart! Prime shipping and I was printing again in 2 days! Awesome :)

Joke's on me. I thought I was getting a great deal at $13, until the ink ran out after printed 15 pages of normal text. A dollar a page Epson? No thanks. If you only use your printer to print in emergency situations, perhaps this is a good solution... but if you plan on using your printer to, you know, print stuff, look elsewhere.
