Are there separate color ink cartridges (1 for each color?). Can you use generic replacement cartridges?

There are four separate color cartridges. I imagine you can use generic replacement cartridges though I haven't done it.

Yes. There is one black and one color cartridge that comes with the printer.

It comes with one of each color ink cartridge. I purchased extras because I wanted them on hand when I needed them and to save on shipping. I purchased generic cartridges and they are working perfectly.

Only if your black is running low but I usually have one is each color on hand to avoid having to wait for ink to arrived so they run out. This is only the colored ink though black comes separate.

No. You just need to go to "Maintenance", select "Ink Cartridge Settings". There you could select the cartridge to be used for printing. If the empty one is color, then you choose "Black Only" (and vice versa). I hope this helps :)

I think this is a ploy to force customers to buy color cartridges even if you are only printing in black & white. There's no solution that I know of except to buy store brand ink cartridges. I still don't understand why you need cartridges in the printer in order to scan and fax - that still has me stumped, but I think it's a design flaw.

Here's a link for your ink: http://www.amazon.com/Remanufactured-Combo-Cartridges--Magenta-Yellow/dp/B002RZ1XWU/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1391206696&sr=8-8&keywords=564+xl

I also received original cartridges and had no problems at all. Although when I went to reorder they were not available directly from Amazon but only via a 3rd party reseller, so maybe that is what happened to the other customer. Also the other thing I would say is to check the prices of the individual cartridges as I have found that you are better buying separately.

if your cartridges are refillable, you can refill them with bulk inks. you will need to get a reset chip--you can check at refillbay.com to see if your printer type is listed for use with the chip. very easy to do

These are not "setup cartridges". They are full replacements which yield approximately 700 pages per color.

Correction ONLY. Ink cartridge is seperate. Makes for difficult installation but what can one do.

Yes when I got this pack in the mail I was only out of 2 colors, my others are almost empty but not fully empty so I won't be changing them until they are 100% empty, they are the actual cartridges we should use (Epson brand) and the ones from this 18 pk have worked wonderfully with the Epson brand, I've gotten no errors what so ever, prints out well, dries quickly as well.

There are 4 cartridges - Red, Yellow, Blue, Black. Replacement is around $10 for red, yellow, Blue and black a little bit more. I bought it at Office Max and wish I had read some reviews because it is an INK HOG. IT WILL $10 YOU TO DEATH!

I dont believe you need anything special or different. You manually install them exactly as you would all other ink cartriges that fit in your printer. You just have to follow your printer's normal instructions to change out ink.

I have not been able to find ink cartridges,... Sadly it would seem you would need to buy another

I don't think there is any difference between what ink goes into the cartridge. It is just a better value to pay for only ONE cartridge and get twice the ink , rather than the equivalent of 2 cartridges to get the same ink. Better cost/value.

Charlie, I can't definitively answer your question. I am still using the ink that came with my printer. I bought the ink4work 5 cartridge set as a replacement. This set was recommended for this printer. I will find out soon.
