E-Z Ink Remanufactured Ink Cartridge Replacement for 79XL for Epson Artisan 1430 and Stylus Photo 1400 Printer (2 Black 1 Cyan 1 Magenta 1 Yellow 1 Light Cyan 1 Light Magenta 7 Pack)

I’m very impressed with E-Z Ink! And this is why; I’ve always used professional quality Epson printers. I now own an Artisan 1430. Recently I put in a couple of new Epson Ink cartridges. Everything worked fine until the new cartridges went in. The new cartridges did not print! After 3 hours of phone calls with Epson in the Philippines and California, following Epson’s instructions and pumping a full set of ink cartridges overboard, I was told the printer had mechanical print head problems! But it was fine until the new cartridges were installed! I asked if there were ever bad ink cartridges? NO, absolutely not, was the answer! I bought the E-Z Ink cartridges to test my theory and replaced the two ‘bad print’ cartridges. They worked immediately. Obviously Epson can no longer be trusted to think ‘beyond the phone script.’ No such thing as real, qualified tech service anymore. Next day one of the new E-Z Ink cartridges stopped working. E-Z Ink had sent me an Email asking if all went well. I replied and said “no” and explain the sequence. E-Z Ink replied with a suggestion that I perform a sequence of ‘head alignment’ procedures. That fixed it! E-Z Ink knows Epson better than its own ‘tech support!’ No more depending on Epson’s support! It’s E-Z Ink from now on. At a fraction of the cost!

Worked on an old wide carriage Photo 1400 perfectly.

I was excited to find ink for such a good price but the first pack the printer stopped recognizing cyan and after some fussing with it got it to work then it said I was out of ink on yellow and black - bought a new set and after running a test print and cleaning heads it no loner sees magenta and others are all low on ink. They do ship fast but for me it was a bust.

This ink has worked really well -- however, you need to be aware that my first order had 2 cartridges that had leaked all over the bag -- and when I returned and replaced the replacement had 1 cartridge that was leaking. If you need something quick and don't have time to play the return game until you get something where all of the cartridges are usable - find another vendor. Once I got all cartridges working - the ink is a nice quality and works well in my machine.

Six of the seven cartridges worked fine. However, the seventh cartridge, Cyan, is not recognized by the printer. I only discovered this recently because I did not need to replace all my cartridges at once. As per the directions, I removed and reinstalled the cartridge many times, but it was never recognized. I left a comment about this on the seller's page, but never heard a response. I know the Return window has closed, but it would be great if the seller could offer a replacement. It's not as if a buyer is going to identify a problem with a pack of cartridges immediately upon receipt of the product. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: This vendor just moved to the top of the class. I just ran across contact information for them 5 months past Amazon's return window. I called their phone number and got a person within a minute. They are shipping me a replacement for the defective cartridge, gratis. They also stated that THEIR return policy is valid for two years after purchase -- not just Amazon's one month window. Thank you.

I have ordered and re-ordered this ink for my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 for printing high-quality photographs. I previously had used another brand of non-OEM ink with satisfaction. I would have bought that version but it was no longer available. This set is slightly more expensive than the previous non-OEM ink I was using but nothing like OEM costs. I actually prefer this ink to OEM because Epson ink doesn't work well with non-Epson papers. This ink prints just fine on any kind of high quality photo paper, dries on the surface quite fast, and does not "bronze" on glossy photo papers. I notice that some people downgrade ink if it does not unclog their clogged printer. That doesn't seem fair to me, but I will note that I had one color from which I could not get a good nozzle check. Since I was still producing nice prints, I just keep using the printer. Later I was indeed able to get a perfect set of nozzle checks, so some combination of just using the printer and using this ink has returned it to perfect normal operation.

Alrighty so from my experience, its decent ink and works in my Epson Artisan 1430, HOWEVER, the longevity of the ink as absolutely terrible. It fades in direct light almost instantly. But if you need a cheap alternative that's not long lived, this will do.

For years I have been buying my ink from Office Depot. I have an Epson artisan 1400 and each box of ink cost so much. When I found this option I thought it was gonna be some crappy stuff, but I was wrong. First off it comes with all the inks in one box for a fraction of the cost and it comes with 2 black cartridges. I no longer buy from Office Depot. This find has saved me time and money.

Used in Epson printer. Epson printers rarely work unless using OEM inks. This is an economical solution to save money. Prints well, colours vibrant. No clog

Les cartouches fonctionnent correctement, un problème subsiste avec mon imprimante qui devra avoir une vérification par un professionnel en imprimante Epson.

Not a good product. The inks leak and make a mess in the printer.

Color’s are not as intense as original ink. Has worked without too much trouble as others did.

Ran out of ink in the afternoon, ordered this ink and it arrived the next morning - perfect. These inks worked as well as any "named" ink and I will always use these inks.
