Summary: Shipping charges
Review: I ordered Epson T009201 ink cartridges a few weeks ago and you had free shipping. I just reordered and was charged shipping. Each order was the same (2) cartridges at 23.14 ea. Is your free shipping another advertising gimmic?

Summary: Everything I expected....
Review: I use it on my Epson 1270 and am very pleased with the results. Yeah, it runs out a little too quickly -- but the printer (and ink cartridge) produce incredible images.

Summary: Easiest way to get good colors with your epson printer
Review: I'm an illustrator and I sell a lot of prints using my epson 1280. Considering at the time of my purchase the t009 color cart cost more than [X], the t007 more than [X], and paper costs, I was really cutting into by profits. I needed to find a lower cost solution for printing. And after extensive research I found that just sticking with epson cartridges was the best solution for the moment.

The problem with these epson cartridges is that they have a "smart chip" attached to each cart. These chips allow for real time monitoring of ink usage, but more importantly it prevents you from refilling your cartridge with the third party inks. However, there are many viable solutions to the chip problem like hardware and software chip resetters that resets the chip to full status. With the chip out of the way, you still have the problem of refilling ink with a syringe which is not worth the time nor effort and is very messy.

Another solution I opted for was to go with third party cartridges. In my experience with these carts I have found that it is really tricky to get as good of colors like epson ones. Sometimes they come out too red or too green. Other times too blue or yellow. The thing is, Epson printers using epson profiles are meant to be used with Epson inks. When they developed these print profiles they were using only Epson inks. That is why you will always get skewed results with any third party ink.

The ultimate solution to the 3rd party ink problem is to purchase custom profiles or profiling software and install a continuous flow system so that you don't have to mess with refilling ink. It will save you in the long run, but be prepared to plop down a few hundred for the setup. But if you are on a budget, you don't print a hundred prints per month, and want good results, just stick with the original Epson carts. By the way, they're pretty cheap now.

Summary: Cheaper at [Amazon.com]
Review: My Stylus Photo 1280 prints beautifully, the Epson inks are obviously perfect for it.
The interesting point is, the [Amazon.com] price is ...cheaper than Office Depot. Order the ink from [Amazon.com] when you are ordering something else and there are no shipping charges, so it is a great savings.

Summary: Color ink cartridge for Epson 1280 printer
Review: The colors are very good (blues) to outstanding (reds and blacks-the black is in its own separate cartridge of course). I get about 20-30 full page 8x10 color prints on Matte paper per color cartridge. This is a much more realistic idea of ink use than Epson's claim of over 300 with 5% coverage...you buy this printer to do photos, not to make text pages with a little color on them. Nevertheless, the ink quality is very good.

Summary: Bloody wicked
Review: This is a quality and guaranted precision quality Instrament, at it's finest,"Epson's colour ink & Black Ink cartridges". To go past it for price, for one of those used ink filled carrtridge's is absolutely a Dingo joke. Not only is colour matching almost made impossible but, if your a fumble finggers like me you'll spill it all over that $500.00 printer! Oh No!!. Any how "bloody great", only buy the one's that's made for it, by the people who made it Epson.
