I've gotten cartidges from "EnviroInks" with mixed success. They are very inexpensive but about 1 of 3 to 1 of 4 gets rejected by the printer.

I've been using an Epson 5610 for a number of years. Initially, I had the same problem that's been cited by numerous reviewers. Once I determined that the only ink the Epson likes is the kind specifically formulated by Epson, my troubles ended. Save yourself time and even money. Buy Epson cartridges directly from Epson online. The prices are very competitive with box store sale prices and you can get free shipping without going into debt.

Only genuine Epson cartridges will work properly. Save your time and get the brand name.

Using generic inks can clog your printer, do so at your own risk... and yes, it could void your warranty too.

Yes, but Epson takes the ability away with firmware updates, then the generic ink guys make new cartridges that work. You can downgrade the printer with utilities you buy for not much on the internet if you upgraded on accident.

I have always used brand ink on this unit. I tried off brand ink on another printer and had a bad experience, in addition to the cartridge not being full.

I actually do not know. But I do know that REMANUFACTURED ink cartridges do not always work. I am back to using HP Name Brand again. I was NOT money ahead with the REMANUFACTURED ones...

What bothered me about this ink was that you needed a chip resetter. You can't just inject the ink and then start printing, its not that simple. You have to buy a refillable ink cartridge that goes with your model, usually about $74.99-$89.99. But yes it does work with said printer, getting it to work and accept it is a different story. Your best bet is to get the refillable cartridge. Pricey but will save money in the long run.

I bought the generic ink cartridges from Amazon for way-less than the Epson ones. They work great. I am ordering more of them. I hope this helps.John L

I haven't tried to use remanufactured ink, but the manual mentions that it will accept refilled and/or remanufactured ink. They don't really recommend that type of ink and say that the ink level status/warnings may be inaccurate if those inks are used. Also, the ink warranty is not applied for those inks.

This is my first set of generic remanufactured Ink and I have had no trouble at all.

I'm not sure, you might call their customer service line. I have an HP, different model, and have had no problem with the re-manufactured ink. Dee

A quick search on eBay shows me thousands of generic ink cartridges. However, you use them at your own risk, and Epson will happily void their printer's warrenty if anything goes wrong. As their own cartridges are INSANELY expensive, and will dry up whether you use them or not, the deck is stacked against you.

a quick check on Amazon suggests you use the same cartridges as my C88+ printer. I've been using these generic cartridges for many years on this and my earlier Epson printers, and have never had a problem. I buy them on the Amazon site, and check the customer reviews. Good luck.a

I have never had this problem. Be sure that the Epson ink is genuine! Do not buy generic ink for your printer. MCM

I have the same printer and have purchased remanufactured cartridges. I did get the empty cartridge message, but my printer gives the override message and gives me the steps in order for the ink to work. Followed those steps ink worked fine but didn't last long, but I believe it was worth it.

I have tried several different types of replacement inks for Lexmark printers. None of them have worked. I only use the Lexmark brand ink. I know it is costly, but I was wasting a lot of money on replacemnt ink that just didn't work.

That's the printer I have and to be honest I haven't even used them yet. I bought them for when I run out on the cartridges that came with it and I haven't yet. When I do use them I will let you know. They look like they are the same shape as the originals so I think it will work, it just looks generic.EDIT: I have the MG5320, sorry.
