Might be a dumb question but do these cartriges have ink in them or are they empty and the consumer has to fill them?

The cartridges are pre-loaded with ink. All you have to do is install them. I have purchased a few times and have had no problems in my Artisan 830.

Yes, they have ink in them. The down side of not using the Epson brand is that the printer might not read the ink cartridge as useable. I had that problem with a few cartridges and switched to Epson brand. I might try again because the Epson brand is quite expensive.

Victoria, I have had them two weeks and they are working fine. The unused ones have a good seal on the ink discharge point and each cartridge is sealed in a air tight plastic wrapper. I don't anticipate them drying out.

Yes they use the standard cartridge ink. That's what I use and have had no issues.

Hello. Although I have always replaced the cartridge when the printer indicates a cartridge is empty, I think you need to have some ink in each of the cartridges for the printer to work. There is, however, a warning message that pops up quite a while before a cartridge will be empty, giving the user plenty of time to have one in reserve. You do not need to replace all the colored cartridges, just the empty one.

Yes they come filled, but some do not work. They also take a long time to dry, especially pictures. I am trying another source.

These ink cartridges are filled with ink. They function just as good as the original Epson ink cartridges. At this price it is cheaper for me to purchase more than to refill them. I have never tried to refill one, though from what I understand you have to purchase a device that resets the electronics in the cartridges so it knows when it is full again.

they are full cartridges, they do not come with refill ink. They worked great for our office i would purchase again from this vendor.

No they do not. Remanufactured ink, regardless of what printer it was remanufactured for is not worth the money. The ink cartridges are not recognized by your printer and it is of very poor quality. They leak, the colors are not true. Save yourself the aggravation and buy the real deal.

Have had these for about 6 month now. All you do is add ink. when the printer says the cartridge is empty, you pop it out and then right back in. the chip on the cartridge resets when you remove it. Just keep an eye on the level of ink, because the printer cant see haw much ink is actually in cartridges, it just counts number of times it is used.

I don't think they warrant ink.Packages are real innobella brother inks with holographic seals.Exploration dates are 12/2014.They are the same as in retail store so don't worry!

I didn't stamp these, but I did put them through my printer and the ink was fine on them. Give them ample time to dry though - a couple hours or so.

Yes, these cartridges are clear so you can see the ink levels. The cartridge themselves will also update your printer so it will display the ink levels as well. We do not guarnatee you can refill the cartridges being they just may not last multiple print cycles, but that does not mean you cannot attempt to refill them. We hope this was helpful. - Northland Wholesale

They are filled. Thin ink, but plenty good for reports, etc. Haven't tried them for pics though. Not sure how those will turn out? Out of 6 I've installed, one didn't work.

It comes with ink, but they are start up cartridges and therefor the ink is minimal, like when you buy a new printer.

They are used to replace them. You fill the empty cartridges with your own media. Filter floss, charcoal, zeolite, etc.... You save a lot of money by using these cartridges vs the pre filled ones.

Mine did. But they were those which did not contain as much ink as those you buy separately.

When you take them out of the box, they are wrapped with a plastic membrane designed to minimize evaporation of the ink. Once you remove that membrane, you can see just how much ink is in the cartridge.
