I recently purchased this package of cartridges. Of the two that I've used so far, one has stopped working. I put it in about two weeks ago. The light magenta. Today my printer told me "cannot recognize cartridge." It had been working up until today. I took a close look at the cartridge and compared it to the old one that I'd kept. Turns out these less expensive cartridges are made in Indonesia. The regulars are made in Mexico. Shouldn't make a difference, right? Well, not ten minutes ago, I got home from Best Buy where I purchased a separate "light magenta" (made in Mexico) and sure enough, the printer recognized it.
I don't know if all of this is just a coincidence. The multi-pack sold here for less (from Indonesia) still says "Epson" on it. But after having this experience, I would never again buy this product. I'm only hoping that the others I've purchased and have yet to put to use, will work ok.
In my honest opinion, you're better off paying the regular price here or at Best Buy. At least you'll know you won't be inconvenienced by an inferior product.

If you buy these ink cartridges from this supplier you will be throwing your money away! I purchased these "genuine Epson" cartridges for my Artisan 50 printer, and after MULTIPLE attempts at installing the light cyan cartridge I still received the message that the printer did not recognize the cartridge, most likely because it was not a genuine Epson product. I finally drove to the local office supply store and bought an Epson 78 light cyan cartridge, which the printer recognized right away. It is beyond the date of Amazon's return policy, and so I'm out of luck. I emailed and called the manufacturer LD Products, a.k.a. 4Inkjets!, and spoke with them this morning. They refused to take the return or exchange because according to them all returns must go through Amazon. All I can say is NEVER AGAIN. Please DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY on this product or supplier.
Best Deals for Set of 6 Epson 78 Inkjet Cartridges
I paid extra for shipping--don't know why I bothered, since the extra $9 or so did me absolutely no good. They still took more days than the "expedited shipping" would lead you to believe. So that started me off on the wrong foot with these folks.
Then, when they FINALLY did arrive (ABSOLUTELY NO MORE "EXPEDITED" THAN NORMAL EVERYDAY USPS MAIL), 2 of them don't work. Therefore I can't use the printer without buying more replacements. Which I will have to do locally, which I should have done in the first place. I will NEVER order ink through Amazon again, and CERTAINLY NOT from this vendor.
Absolute ripoff and waste of time and money.
Honest reviews on Set of 6 Epson 78 Inkjet Cartridges
I purchased this 6-pack of Epson 78 ink cartridges mainly due to the price. I ignored the reviews since Amazon hadn't failed me yet which was a mistake on my part. I replaced my yellow ink and it worked fine. Then, I tried to replace my Black and Light Magenta cartridges and the pop-up kept saying that they were incompatible with my printer. That's probably why the sticker said "Mark For China Only." Then, if I wanted a specific cartridge replaced, I'd have to send back all 6. So far, it's like I paid more than $20 for a yellow ink cartridge. Don't waste your time or your money.

This set of ink cartridges is great to keep on hand. The printers that take these cartridges have SIX that run out of ink at different times, so if you buy this set and one or two extra black cartridges you won't be caught running out of "light cyan" or "magenta" late on a Sunday night when you're printing something for school the next morning. Even with the small shipping cost added, this is the best price around. Two thumbs up!!
