I have been using it over the Christmas Season rush and it has already paid for itself in ink cartriges I would have gone through. Fairly easy to install and works perfectly with my Epson artison 730 printer. !!! A great combination !!! Thanks for this great product.

This is the second Cis from hotzone360. The first was for an Artisan 830 and would not work on the 837 because Epson changed the chipset . New one for the 837 works great. Easy to install. Profiled the printer with a Colormunki photo using Epson ink and the Cis inks. Could not see any difference between Epson ink and the cis ink on a test print.

Product looks and feels in high quality! With a little change to the color settings it prints beautiful photos on my Epson 703 and matches with the screen (macbook pro) very well. Will buy again if my printer is still working after I finish this ink.

This is just as it appears, no gimmicks, no fakes. It is just a very affordable place to get ink for your printer. So it doesn't have manufacturer packaging, who cares? Because they pass the savings on to me, the consumer. All I have to say is this is a great seller with fast shipping and a great place to do business :)

fast shipping, ordered friday 5pm and arrived monday at 2pm (although i do live 10miles away). the ink was very good, i would have given it a 5star but i needed ink for a photo project that was half done. i spend 60$ on hp ink then half way i ran out so i ordered this package. i made 150 copies of one picture 75 looked great from original hp ink. the other 75 looked good but just couldn't match the original one. its great for regular day to day paper use and ive saved a bunch of money, ive refilled my ink 4times and still have enough to last me along time. i will definitely order more. thanks, 5 stars to the seller.

We could not get the printer to recognize that there is ink in the cartridges, therefore, nothing will print. Waste of money.

originally I was skeptical as the ink drained out of the cartridge I refilled first but I later learned you cant refill cartridges that have been sitting and dried out. Works better refilling cartridges that either still have ink in them or have recently emptied. Two refills work just fine. One attempt produced colors that were not correct still cant figure what cause that.Overall I think its worth the money since ink refills are so expensive.

Product works great, as good as Epson Ink. Photos turn out great. I will use this system from now on.

Bought this ink refill system over a year ago and I am still printing strong! I use my printer almost daily and I do a fair amount of high-volume print jobs. The cost of this system is very reasonable...under $50 for pre-filled cartridges and bulk ink refill bottles that will refill the reusable cartridges at least 8 times before you have to buy more ink. The cartridges can be used over and over because they come with an Auto Reset Chip on each cartridge. When the ink is out, my printer will tell me which cartridge needs to be refilled. I remove that cartridge, refill it, and snap back into its cartridge slot and can continue printing just as if I had a continuous ink supply. By the way, this company has a Continuous Ink Supply System for most of the major printers sold today. If you don't see yours, just contact them and ask about availability.

I am currently using this product and it works great in my printer but I am thinking about upgrading to a CISS for my Epson printer. I like this company and their products and highly recommend them to other customers who may not have thought about refillable ink cartridges before. Take a look at what they offer and give it a try. You won't be disappointed! I promise!

So far the ink has worked just as well as the more expensive name brand ink. This kit comes with everything you need to refill your ink cartridge. It contains 4 refills (2 in each tube).

I would say my first experience went smoothly, but I made a huge user error. I forgot to plug the hole in the bottom of the cartridge holder (it states to plug the hole in the instructions), and so my ink ran out the bottom. OOPS! Just don't forget to plug that hole and your work surface will stay ink free. If you don't want to read the written instructions InkTec has a video on YouTube. It helped me make up my mind to buy this set.

I've refilled several ink cartridges since then, and no spills. I only have 2 recommendations:

1) To get some plastic gloves. It comes with a set, but (if you are messy like me) you may just want to throw those away after the first use and have a new pairs handy for the following refills.

2) Get a chip resetter. You will need this if your printer cartridge has a chip. I have a Cannon MP500 so I needed one.

If you want to save money buy the 98 ink cartridges intead of the 99 ink cartridges. Also, if you plan to replace the black cartridge get the six pack that includes black (link at bottom of review) instead of this five pack that has all of the colors but no black.

In ISO/IEC 24711 tests

Black 98 ~520 pages

Color 98 ~805 pages

Color 99 ~510 pages

At current Amazon prices bying full color set and separate black:

Black 98 2.89 cents/page (individual)

Color 98 1.27 cents/page (5 pack)

Color 99 1.47 cents/page (5 pack)

I highly recommend the Epson Photo papers as they are designed for these Epson inks and Espon printers specifically. I tested the "Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy" and "Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy" and recommend both. Looking at the same image side by side on the two papers the differences are almost imperceptible. The detail and color are identical under the most careful scrutiny. A few differences emerge under very careful observation:

* The Ultra Premium Paper is slightly heavier paper, this adds to its stiffness. When picking up a 4x6" photo from the 4" edge there is about half as much bend vs the Premium Paper.

* The Ultra Premium Paper has an ISO brightness of 96, versus 92 for the Premium Paper. This makes no difference in color rich areas of photos but in light highlights if you stare long enough you can convince yourself they are brighter in the Ultra Premium. Telling the difference in brightness requires good light, identical photos side by side, and far too much scrutiny.

* The Premium costs about 12.7 cents per 4x6 sheet in packs of 100

* The Ultra Premium costs about 22.7 cents per 4x6 sheet in packs of 100

Given the differences are almost imperceptible and the price difference is almost double I'd recommend the Premium Photo Paper Glossy for every day use and the Ultra Premium only if you are entering a photo contest or have money burning a hold in your pocket. Photos on the Premium paper will be better than you'd get at your local Walgreens or Costco.

I've been a professional photographer for many MANY moons! Up until about 5 months ago, I used an Epson Workforce 600 printer as my everyday printer... for documents, and everyday photo printing. For documents, it was an excellent printer. It was also "good" for printing photos. However for my important gallery photos, I use my Epson Stylus Pro 3880... a professional photo printer. The problem with the Workforce 600 is that it used Durabrite ink, which is a pigment based ink. In the past, all pigment based ink had a problem with glossy paper called metamerism. That's a property where the ink sits on TOP of the paper surface. The results were that when viewed under different lighting conditions the color appears to shift a little bit, and even caused "bronzing", especially in the blacks when viewed under spectral lighting. This effect was most noticable in black and white prints. Also, when viewed at certain angles the images would appear less glossy and uneven when going from lighter colors, or clear, to dark colors... almost like a negative image!

My latest SMALL printer is the Epson Artisan 810 printer, which uses Claria ink... a dye based ink. No more bronzing or metamerism! The glossy prints have an even gloss and truly look like regular photo prints from your local pro camera store!... some small drug store labs still give you prints with uneven gloss... or semi-gloss. Also, Claria ink adds two more colors, Light Magenta and Light Cyan which means that you get a potentially wider color gamut (depending on your color settings) than you do with the old Durabrite 4-color ink system.

The problems with pigment based inks have been pretty much eliminated, due to micro encapsulation of the ink droplets in the best pigment based inks. The encapsulation surrounds each droplet with a polymer, which almost completely eliminates their previous problems. I am extremely happy with this color pack not just because it saves money over buying the cartridges individually, but also because it uses Claria ink!

The archival inks from Epson are so cost effective because you only change the single ink that is running out. Now they have the 98 series of High capacity ink (translate MORE ink in the cartridge) you have to change ink less. I checked MANY different sources and this was the best value for the money going. If you have Amazon PRIME there is also NO shipping charge!

Honest reviews on Epson Claria T098920 98 Extra High-capacity Inkjet Cartridge Color

Epson Artisan 800 Wireless Photo All-in-One Printer (Black)(C11CA29201)

Epson Artisan 800 printer is the best inkjet printer I have ever owned!!!!

I have bought just about every make of ink jet printer there is over the years. I can give a list of printers to avoid, but that is another horror story.

I use ink jet printers primarily for photos as I have not found a lazer printer that can reproduce photos as well as an ink jet.

I read the reviews on Amazon before I bought this printer and I can say that I was a little gun shy about the issue of ink use and other downfalls people wrote about. I bought this on sale at a major office supply store with the guarantee that if I didn't like it I could return it.

I have owned it about 9 months and printed a lot of 4x6, 5x7 and a few 8x10 pictures. The detail and color is beautiful, the printing fast, you can handle the prints right out of the printer. Documents look like they were printed on a lazer. I have found that it is very good on ink. At the time of this writing I have gone thru 2 sets of ink cartridges. Note: ONLY use Epson Ink and Epson Photo Paper. Like most printers, if you use aftermarket supplies you will get very bad results. Inexpensive supplies that don't work is no bargain.

Being wireless is great. The only draw back is the scanner is slow, no big deal to me as I use a lazer all in one for that.

Bottom line is if your looking for a great printer I highly recommend the Artisan 800! Hope this helps.

We purchased this printer because we were having trouble printing photos with our prior all-in-one printer, and this one had great reviews in our local newspaper and online.

As advertised, the printer setup was relatively easy. The biggest challenge I had was in loading paper tray, which left me wondering if I had done it right until I actually printed anything. I still haven't done the network setup for the printer, partly because you can't scan images to your computer using that setup. You must use the USB connection to do so.

Once set-up, I was impressed by how easy it was to get our camera connected and to work with photos from the computer.

I was very unimpressed, however, with the print quality we were getting on photo paper. We were using some photo paper that we already had lying around the house to do the printing, and the images all seemed grainy. You could see ink dots all over the images, and while they would look fine from about 5 feet away, they looked horrible at arm's length.

Frustrated with the results we were getting and feeling like we had been taken for a ride, we decided to give the recommended Epson brand photo paper a try as a last ditch effort. There was no sample was included with the printer, but that brand was recommended throughout the documentation. The specific paper we purchased is the: 100-SHEET 4X6 Glossy Ultra Premium Photo Paper

That paper made all of the difference. The images that we're printing now are matching the descriptions provided by others. They're high quality, just like a photo printed from a shop.

The chip resetter is cool, very easy to use. Don't think too much about it-just open your wallet and get one.

The ink is good for our general family use. We don't do a lot of photos or high-grade printing, so I don't know how it would perform for that stuff. Homework? Fine. Recipes? Fine. Coloring book pages? Fine.

It's pretty expensive ink, considering the quantity in the bottles, but still cheaper than new cartridges by far. You will get some on you. Yes, you will. The first time you do it it will take some time too.

It's not shown in the Amazon description, but my kit came with a handheld drill bit device that you use to make the hole to put the ink in. If you use hot glue to seal up the holes you drill in the cartridges, be careful to keep the glue gun away from the plastic bottles of ink. They melt very easily. (yes, I did.) There are lots of youtube videos showing how to do this whole thing.

This kit comes with two bottles of black, and they are both DYE-BASED ink. My Canon MX850 printer uses 4 dye inks and 1 black pigment-based ink if I buy factory cartridges. The dye-based works ok for us as a cheap stand-in, but YMMV.

I bought this for my HP Deskjet 842C, it's an ancient printer lol. Our main Canon printer ran out of ink and the prices for one of those inks we're like $30-40!! There was nothing wrong with my old printer, it was just old. Boys like to play with new toys so we neglected the old printer. I did a comparison of the two printer's inks and to re-arm the newer printer it would cost between $50-60. So I bought the colour/black ink off Amazon for.. $18 lol. Much better option.

I tested the ink by printing a picture of my MinPin, and currently it's pinned on the wall near my brother's bed. No complaints whatsoever :)

I upgraded to a new HP printer/scanner/copier 1350 earlier this year having used an old Deskjet 610C previously and was frankly very pleased with the quality that the new printer produced with this cartridge. The text is very crisp and clean and unlike the old printer ink does not smudge if left in the printer whilst the next sheet is sliding onto it.

HP cartridges always are a little more expensive than others but I do think they're worth the price. And they are coming down in price, I can remember when a black deskjet printer cartridge cost nearly £20 and a tricolor cartridge nearly £30.

You can ignore the warning that the cartridge is running low in ink as it comes up much sooner than is necessary. Generally speaking when HP cartridges (laser and deskjet) start to run out you get portions of the page text faded out in the printout and that doesn't usually happen for quite some time after the warning message appears.

I just recently purchases an HP5550 and the printer, despite some negative reviews on speed... is excellent. The Ink is another story altogether. The cartridges are very small and after 1 week of regular use (home business printing, 4 or 5 pictures on sample paper) the ink is almost 1/2 finished!!! This could be a problem in the end as the ink is more expensive than other printer manufacturers. I guess watching ink consumption is something HP did not warn us about!

Best Deals for HP 56 C6656AN#140 Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging-Black

The picture for this product shows the box for an HP 56. That is not what I received. I received an HP 56b. From what I can find out the HP 56b is a "value" or "economy" version, though what that means is not clear. It is also not intended for sale in the United States. But whatever it is, it is not an HP 56 and should not be represented as one.

This is really false advertizing, and Amazon should put a stop to it. I am surprised that after I returned my order and complained about the misrepresentation no changes have been made to this listing. It would be bad enough if Amazon were just allowing this to happen, but because they are fulfilling the orders they know these are HP 56b and are actively participating in this scam.

I bought this because I had shopped around and it was a pretty good price, a pretty good price for an HP 56. Since it's really an HP 56b, I don't know if it's a good price or not. Since it's not supposed to be for sale in the US, I can't find any retailer to compare it to. I returned the two I received for a refund, so I don't know the quality of the cartridge or if it contains the same amount of ink.

Honest reviews on HP 56 C6656AN#140 Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging-Black

What's to say this is an OEM HP ink cartridge from HP. It performs exactly as you'd expect. The price from amazon is good. The only way you'll typically beat their price on this is either buying in bulk at a warehouse club or to buy a remanufacturered cartridge or ink kit. The former is risky as printer prices drop so fast you can end up with more ink than you need at a price higher than a new printer, and the latter which can be messy and sometimes impact print quality if you get low end stuff.

Presently the Amazon price for a new one, especially for customers who have Prime, is unmatched. You might save a few bucks with refurbs, but I sure haven't had much luck with them. Should you go with a refurb, be sure that you use your printer on a regular basis. They dry up faster than new ones, requiring multiple recleanings (and wasting of the "good" cartridge's ink) and occasionally simply refusing to come back to life. If you do purchase a refurb from an Amazon vendor and are dissatisfied with its performance, don't write reviews panning the cartridge as though it were Amazon's or Hewlitt Packard's fault.
