It's perfect for the Epson printer it's designed for. I don't think this ink requires any comments. Its genuine from Epson, period. I don't have a problem using third-party inks on my cheap everyday printers. But for professional quality jobs on a pretty expensive (at least when we bought it a few years ago) Epson Photo R1800 -- genuine ink is the only way to go.
It is important to me that my prints are of high quality, so I don't attempt to use the cheaper compatible ink cartridges. When it comes to ink for my R1800 photo printer, I am concerned with the quality of the images I print. The Epson yellow UltraChrome Hi-Gloss ink cartridge provides superior resistance to water, fading and smudging. The color can be duplicated, but all inks are not created equal. Third party options may produce a good print initially, but may not hold up or last as long.PROS:Provides superior resistance to water, fading and smudgingCONS:Price
If you own the EPSON Stylus Photo R1800, this is the ink for you.
Under $11 is a good price for the Epson ink catridges and they work for the R800 or R1800, which I have, a great printer. The description doesn't say for the R1800, but it is, says it right on the packaging. I've paid $13-$15 elsewhere when needed at last minute.I seem to use more yellow cartridges than any of the others.
Great product in every respect, but cost too much for what it is - ink.
