I ordered this 4-pack of 542 ink refill bottles for our community center printing room. We have been using them for the Epson printers! They're a cost-effective solution for keeping our Epson printer running. The ink quality is on par with the original, and the ease of refilling has reduced downtime and printing costs. Our volunteers and staff appreciate the convenience and savings these refill bottles bring to us.

My printer had been out of ink for months. My Epson ET-5800 accepted the ink with no issues, and the color printed is exactly what I was expecting to see. Keep in mind, if your printer had not been used for several months like mine, you will likely need to run several "cleaning" modes on your printer before you will get a solid print. I definitely recommend this ink, and will be purchasing again!

Maybe it's just my eye, but this ink, while it does work with my eco-tank printer, is not quite as vibrant as the HP branded ink. I'll use this for my everyday printing projects, but I will continue with my stock ink in my other eco-tank for my commercial and professional applications. Over all, it's a damned good value if you can tolerate the 5% less vivid color.
