Summary: Not an acceptable product!!!
Review: I recently installed a new Epson black ink cartridge on my printer and a few days later installed the color Dataproducts cartridge and now EVERYTHING PRINTS IN RED! We have tried many different programs and selected black fonts but always in red. This is a real problem in printing from my checkbook program, don't want checks printed in red! The checkbook program does not even have the option to print in any color except black!

Summary: Huge mistake to buy this
Review: I thought I would save a little money and buy this instead of the Epson product, huge mistake, never had trouble like this until used this product. Everything prints in light yellow and you cannot read it, finally discovered you can print in black but you have to go to print properties EVERY time and change to monochrome, is easy to forget that too and wastes paper. The only color it printed in was yellow. We could not take it off and throw away because the printer instructions say that if you remove the cartridge before the "out of ink" indicator comes on it will mess up the printer sensors so we had to suffer and endure thru using the ___ thing until it was used up. Tried to call their toll free number numerous times and always busy. I will never never buy any ink cartridge except Epson, this one was one of the biggest ... I have ever purchased.

Summary: Horrible
Review: I've heard plenty of people who will only buy printer accessories from the original manufacturer. Well, I just learned my lesson the hard way. My Stylus IIs has a 'clamp' that the cartridge sits in, and then the clamp is placed into the printer. This cartridge just barely sticks out of the clamp (less than a millimeter), but that is enough to make it not work in my printer. Do yourself a HUGE favor, spend the extra money on a genuine Epson cartridge.
9/24/01-And to make it a little worse, even though the warranty clearly states they will refund your money if they cannot fix it, they refused to refund my money, stating that I would have to go through my retailer to get my money back. Unfortunately, I bought it but did not immediately use it, so it was beyond the 30 day return policy ...
