I am considering purchasing the Epson Stylus Pro 3880, along with these inks. HUGE purchase for me! --Please, how long do these last, realistically???

of course depends on how much you print ... I find they seem to last depending on color ... light magenta runs out first --- I'd say you could print 30 size 13 x 19 pages on average ...

It's entirely dependent on your coverage. We print fairly larger composite images probably 5 times a week, and we change out ink maybe every six months.

For the price, not long enough. Some paper like gloss use less ink and some paper use more. Pictures are amazing. I am not sorry that I brought the printer.

I'm new, so I don't have a longitudinal experience yet. But I must say, the quality of the results with the Epson Luster with photos is absolutely amazing. This printer was a stretch, but I have no regrets whatsoever. Results are fantastic.

I am using the ink for an Epson printer so cannot answer directly. However, I will tell you that I am not that happy with the ink quality. Apparently there is a difference in ink quality. It tends to clog up my heads causing me to have to clean them quite often.

Hi Mike ~ I did a lot of research before making my purchase; I would say go for it, I simply put in my model printer and went with the best bang for the buck and I'm soooooo glad I did and trust me, this is the only way I'll be buying my ink� hope this helped!

I've had mine over a year, I think. Never had a problem. I use it almost daily in my business for documents and color signage; even use "not recommended" refillable ink cartridges. The Epson 30 was purchased to use with an older Mac. I've had 4 Epson printers in 18 years and only one quit working (it was under a water leak that happened during a roof repair). I bought, and use, the others (wide format) for more precise and accurate color printing with a newer Mac. I've never been unhappy with Epson printers but hate the ink prices.

The starter color cartridges that come with it will last awhile if you only occasionally use color. I use it at my business, have had it for about 2 1/2 months, made a lot of copies, and haven't even approached the ink tanks having to be replaced. These are only the starter cartriges. I purchased an "XL" cartrige in black to replace the starter one when it ran out, looks like it will be about 6 months or so before I need to even think about it. The cartriges are not cheap but if they last well beyond what the starter ones do, they're well worth it. Print about 100 - 150 pages per day on average.

The cartridge for the xp400 is different from the workforce 725 series. I checked on the inkreloader site, and they don't offer it for your printer, yet, probably because it's a printer all-in-one that has not been out very long. You can send the seller a message through Amazon and ask if they intend to have these cartridges for your printer. They are absolutely amazing, no leaks, etc, and the color is better than Epsons. I have had these cartridges for about a year now, and they do not dry up, like what one commentor said. He probably had a dried up printhead to begin with. I have refilled two of them, and they still work great. I hope this company never goes out of business. The cartridge for the xp400 is different from the workforce 725 series.

I do quite a bit of large print printing; I would say that they lasted me close to a year. I use my printer for only personal, not professional printing.

I am a repeat buyer from this seller and have found these cartridges to be inconsistent. Most of them last as long as the "high" capacity OEM cartridges. I have had one or two that did not last that long however. I'm not sure if it is a problem with the cartridge or my printer however. I'm sorry I couldn't be more definitive in my answer but if I had to say one way or the other, I would say that they are more comparable to the "high" capacity. I hope this helps.

They work fine...temporarily. ..then will clog and ruin your printer. Use only Epson ink for your Epson printer. I learned the hard way and had to buy another printer..

Hello!While I can't speak for everyone, we have had an awesome experience with this refill! We are on our second refill & the printer's performance is fine (as it has been performing we purchased ir). I can't imagine ever buying two ink cartridges for the price of a printer again. Hope this helps. :)

I'm still laughing about the answer from "Mike2so Silicon Valley Native". I don't think I'd want the ink cartridges after they are "all raped up"! I've kept them for up to a year (all wrapped up) without a problem.

My wife and I have been using them constantly for about 2 weeks and I haven't noted any decrease in performance. I have used a similar tip to this and they last quite a while. It's nice to have replacement tips because you know you're going to have the same stylus.

Until the ink runs out, they don't last long and they are not compatible with the Epson printer, only one worked the others did not read so I'm stuck with them, I hope this helps you.

I have had these in my printer for the last 3-4 months and the printer seem to be working fine. It has not been clogged and the print quality is about 90-95% of the Epson original ink.

I am not entirely certain how long these cartridges last because, you are correct, it is dependent upon how much you write. This is also the first time I have used Lamy cartridges. Based on the fact that there are five to a box, if you use it every day, it could possibly last anywhere from 40 to 60 days per cartridge. I know that other cartridges for other pens I have used that is just about the amount of time they lasted.

Hi Cynthia. At this point I'm still scribbling with them all. But from my estimate, I do believe they will last as long as a normal pen. Hope this helps.
