Hey guys, can you tell if after a year these are still working good? i'm afraid cause when the cartridges don't fail, usually the ink clogs the head??

I understand your concern, that was my concern when I bought these almost 2 years ago. These are fantastic! I have not had any issues with clogged heads or printing quality issues. I print here and there 10-15 pages/week average. I have refilled 2 of the color cartridges but the amount of ink the cartridge hold will last a very long time. Like I said in my first review I think the color quality is better than OEM Epson inks. Hope this helped, plus if you do have any questions Ink Owl is very quick to offer help to resolve the issue.

I've been using these in my Epson for about 6 months now and I have not had any problems. Prints well and I print a lot. The only issue was they originally sent me the wrong cartridges. They were made to Europe and not the U.S., they looked identical, but the chips on the cartridges are different. After a few emails and 2 weeks later, I got all the right stuff. So, if you order this refillable system. make sure it says for U.S. on the pink plastic packaging that cartridges come in. Hope this helps.

I have had these cartridges for over a year now, and they are fantastic! Best thing we have ever done; and they are still in perfect working order.

I've had mine for almost three years and with the exception of changing ink cartridges frequently, have only good things to say about this printer. After market cartridges may be cheaper, but they don't last line Cannon cartridges.

I've had no problems with the cartridges that I've purchased. The printer identifies them as being non-genuine Epson brand. They have worked well for me and were a much better buy than I can get elsewhere. I will be reordering soon. Hope this helps.

I use them in my Epson NX420, and from the start of a new cartridge my printer works just fine. It's when the ink is nearing the "empty stage", though still has some in there, that my printer will then randomly decide it no longer accepts the cartridge and will refuse to print until I replace it. Of course, I replace the old with a new generic cartridge of the exact same type, and it goes back to blissful ignorance (works just fine!). So if you don't feel too bad about wasting the last bit of ink in these cheap cartridges, it should be just fine. It is for me at least.

I have purchased these inks because others have purchased them and say that they work. I have not had to replace my cartridges yet, but I will post when I do!

Hi Sam - I have that very same printer! However, I've never checked the menus for an 'expiration date' of each cartridge. Mine does show levels. For example, I needed just the darker pink (magenta?) cartridge. When I put it in, it registered as full. Overall, the cartridges work great. Hope that helps.

I have open cartridges several times over the past year and have had no problems . I am careful to shake the cartridges as suggested. Since I have almost two full sets not used yet, I hope the expiration date is several years and I expect it to be if cartridges remain sealed inside the plastic wrap..

I've had mine about six months and just installed one of the cartridges. Worked great!

Work yes. Work well? No Tend to leak. Colors not as good. The printer most likely will no register them and will tell you the cartridge needs replacing because it is low or empty.

As far as I can tell, I got these 25 May 2013. I posted my review 27 June 2013, and if memory serves, I installed two of the color cartridges not long before that, so at the time of installation I had probably had them about a month. I have no complaints. I would assume since they sell quite a few in a package, they don't expect them to dry up very quickly, and I believe I saw that they come with a 1-year guarantee. Hope this helps.

They are currently working, however, I am getting the yellow caution triangle on all cartridge ink levels. It's annoying and makes it appear that that ink levels are low. I just recently installed the cartridges and should not be receiving this message.

Sorry, I didn't even check that. They worked fine. The printer has since died so I won't be able to know how long the ink lasts either.

Same happend to me this ink clogged my print heads, only way to fix it you need to take the print head s apart and clean them with the right products, look in youtube I believe there is a link about how to repair. I just went and bought another printer

I had no problems with mine they worked great... just take the tape off the top and put them in the printer, might be a bad ink tank or a printer problem, you might want to try a different tank for the problem one, i ordered 2 sets and they work like the original oem ones.

I've used 'em for my HP C4820 with some success but you're really limited by your ability to deal with the cartridge itself. Eventually the printer refused to recognize the other party's cartridges I was filling and also refused to recognize that I'd filled a used HP cartridge. /sespite a long, tedious process of "resetting" the printer, "resetting" the cartridge and so forth, I still had to buy a new one. InkTek ink didn't clog the printer's jets and did save me some money on expensive HP replacements. BTW, fill 'em over a surface you can clean; that ink is permanent on fabrics!

I purchased them because my printer costs more then if I just purchase the print heads. I say just get the print heads cause you know what you have and the way that printers are made they are not lasting as long as they should.
