I have used these inks on an Epson XP-400 multi function copier/printer/scanner with perfect results. They loaded with no error messages, print very well, good coverage and colors look vibrant (at 300 dpi). I have not had occasion to use this ink on photo paper but expect good results from my experience so far.

Sorry, my friend--I have a Mac. I'm totally Windows illiterate, but I read (what seemed like) thousands of reviews of the printer before I bought it, so it seems like somebody out there must know the answer. Go to the item itself and start browsing through all those reviewers; maybe you'll get lucky. Or maybe ask the Epson folks if that will work. Good luck to you!

I have been having the same problem with the Artisan 800. As I type this I am waiting to speak to someone in Customer Relations at Epson's HQ to register a major complaint about the 800's ink disappearance. This was obviously a design flaw which may very well prevent me from considering an Epson Printer in the future. I'd be interested, too if they did anything to fix the ink consumption process on the newer 810 which looks essentially the same as the 800.

I agree its a great printer. works with Mac OS 10.9.2 when I am on that network which is primarily windows 7 & 8 machines. I have had no issues printing from either microsoft office or pages/numbers. It is a higher speed / B&W; printer that I think does well on shades of grey images. I also have a Brother 9840 color printer that I have no issues connecting to, scanning or printing to in a wireless configuration as well as a Brother 2270, also wireless. The 6180 has, in my opinion, the best performance/price ratio of the B&W; printers.

I have the WF-2540, The printer will work with them but prompts a few messages when you put them in the printer that the ink isn't genuine Epson Ink. So far I have only put one black cartridge in and they seem too work well. No complaints yet.

Not mine, it's worked great for me. I replaced it about 4 months ago and use it every week. Does it print well? After all, that's the most important thing. Good luck.

05/13/2014 I called Epson about this, because the printer looked like a good deal. I found out that the problem has been addressed with new units. If you order from Epson it will be a newly engineered unit. If you order from another source it might be an old unit. Maybe you could check the serial # with Epson

I get the same message too. That Epson's way of getting us to buy their brand. Just bypass the error message.

I actually had this problem from the outset. I called Epson and they sent me a new one that is perfect. I'm guessing you take a chance if you get a good one or not. If you don't want to deal with shipping items then you may want to buy in store for easy returns. So far the printer is most definitely worth it though

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

Can't help on that, because I have a hard time making it work period. I have Windows XP, and it worked well for awhile, then started smearing, fading, skipping and otherwise giving me trouble. It still looks beautiful as a piece of furniture, though; I'm too "thrifty" to pitch it. Tried to have it scan a page an hour ago and it refused. I don't print very often, so the ink cartridges refuse to obey the printer, being dried up. With all the time I spend trying to get it to work, I could write documents in long hand quicker. Best of luck to you, Tom! George Strella, Tulsa

I really feel that maybe some people just got a bad one. Happens with anything you buy. Mine has been working fine. Another thing may be that they were not using the epson ink. I looked into buying some generic ink cartridges, but people were complaining a lot about ink leaking and then it occured to me that maybe that's why there was someone on here complaining about Epson having leak issues. Could just be that some people thought they were as good as buying brand name and used them in their Epson printer and blamed the printer. Who knows, but I think Amazon has way more good reviews for this printer than any complaints of leaking ink, so that should say something. I really feel that maybe some people just got a bad one.

I don't have this printer, but use the Epson 2200 and I can definitely say that I would not recommend it to print on plain paper. On Epson's papers, the prints are superb, but on plain paper, they look washed out and the paper feels like it becomes saturated, almost wet with ink when printing at higher resolutions. Since both printers are using Epson Archival inks, I would venture to guess that the R2400 would behave the same way.

I have not tried either so any response would only be a guess and that holds little value. I can say that I am pleased with the printer and the incredibly good Brother support. I imagine that Brother would be happy to answer. Sorry I cannot help you.

Did you ever find out if it would load on Windows 7. I have an Epson Perfection 2450 and upgrade to Win7 and I cannot get it to work. Loved the scanner.
