Will I have problems w/ Epson XP-400. One person said yes, another said NO? Also, is there an option for a pack with colors &amp; 2 black cartridges

As with any cartridge that is an aftermarket, there is always the potential. However, that being said, we have had not problem with these inks in our XP-400. Here is the key to winning with inks, if you can always by "Compatible" instead of "Remanufactured" sometimes you can't and buy in quantity, this is because every so often there is one that doesn't work. Lastly, do a search, buy cheap, a lot of people sell the same thing at different prices. To answer your last question, there are more than likely packs of inks that are in greater quantity, it just requires taking the time to search. Hope this helps

It works with epson xp-200. Have to go through the software prompts and accept the warning to use the 'unknown' manufacturer cartridge.

I actually had this problem from the outset. I called Epson and they sent me a new one that is perfect. I'm guessing you take a chance if you get a good one or not. If you don't want to deal with shipping items then you may want to buy in store for easy returns. So far the printer is most definitely worth it though

Hi, Andrew: I am not sure either. I may have bought the dual pack but am now getting the XL cartridges for longer use. The photo cartridge I have is in a red box, and the larger black cartridge is in a green box. Although obviously more expensive, I got my last cartridges from Costco, all XL. I do a lot of printing, including photos. Can't you contact the seller on Amazon to ask what he is sending out - 2 in one pack, or 2 individual ones. If Amazon is advertising a Twin Pack, obviously you should get two cartridges whether they come together or separately. What a hassle just to get some cartridges, but you need the seller to clarify this for you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Hi, Andrew: I am not sure either.

I have not been able to get my Epson XP-400 to print on any medium-heavy weight card stock, even when I hand feed it single sheets. I have a friend who was able to ram a few sheets of 100# pages through, but then the printer wouldn't pull any type of paper through after that. I highly recommend you don't ram paper through - the person below who says "Its' not an HP" so you can rough the printer up does not appear to be trustworthy or logical.

Unfortunately, Epson, as well as other manufacturers, do not allow you to proceed, even if you have enough ink in the other cartridges to do so. Other than forcing you to buy more cartridges (I would recommend that you buy at least two of whichever is low, especially if you go through it fairly quickly), it makes sense that you may not want your documents to print with missing colors! However, depending on your printer, you MAY be able to select an option (if it exists) that allows you to proceed in black & white (or, possibly, grayscale). Of course, that option is useless, if it's the black cartridge which is empty! (n.b., even when the printer indicates that the cartridge is "empty," there may be enough in it to make a mess, so, when you remove it from your printer, make sure to put it in a sealable plastic bag, immediately, or you may get ink all over the place!) Good luck!

Ha! Mine prints black, but colors are sketchy at best. These printers are fatally flawed and HP views them as disposable. I had to pony up for another printer over a year ago.

I was in the same delema when I ordered my first set. I have an Epson XP 620. It was not listed either, but it looked like the same cartridges and it has the same colors I needed. I took a chance and they work fine. I don't remember the company it was sent from. Victoria

I don't have an answer, Scott, but seeing as how the 3-color cartridge is such a limitation, both in ink usage and in printing pure blacks, I wonder what the possibility is that Dymo will bring out a DiscPainter II shortly, with at least 2 cartridges. There's certainly room for them back there, and it makes a lot of sense. With my luck, they'll do it right after I buy the 3-color version. ;-) Thanks for your review. Re the dithering, is it really that bad when printing in high-resolution? Seems like at 1200 dpi the dithering ought to be minimal, but then I haven't seen one of these.

Not a direct answer, but I have an Epson WF-3540 and it works perfectly. No issue at all. Frankly, I decided the price was worth the risk - and it was for me.

James,I am trying to decide between the canon 830 AiO and the epson artisian 800. If you look at the negative comments both printers receive high marks for being ink pigs!have you tried more pages with the epson? is it still using as much ink? I wish thw=ere was some way to tell which printer is worse.

You have to use color. In fact my printer will not print unless ALL the cartridges have ink. Which is infuriating because the magenta runs out very quickly & then I have to buy a new pack of ink. Epson doesn't sell just 1 color cartridge. You have to buy all 3 & you have to buy Epson brand. These printers are set up to not print if you put a generic brand in. It's a ok printer but the issues with the ink infuriated me to the point that I threw it away. My advice- don't buy Epson!

I have the Epson Stylus RX 680 and have printed (100) 4 X 6 pictures with no problems and it only used 1/3 of the ink tanks. My printer has 6 individual tanks. Before I bought the printer, I read all the reviews and everyone said to use only Epson paper. (Amazon carries it pretty cheap.) My settings were on the glossy, photo, premium photo paper. They came out amazing! Check epson.com as I'm sure they will have any type of paper you like.

I had the exact same problem with the exact same papers! We had a pack of 20 Kodak photo paper (I believe we received it free in the mail or something.) After the 3 photos we printed on the Epson paper came out stunningly good, we tried the Kodaks, and they were terrible no matter what settings I tried.

Its working on the Epson xp 310. After trying refilled cartridges to no avail on my HP Photosmart, I am very pleased with this brand. I would try it if I were u. These are the XL cartridges... The ink last for a long time. I've printed a ton of pages and still have over half of my black ink and even more of the colors. Good luck

I have an Epson NX420. I just popped them in and off I went, no problems whatsoever. I've used many of the cartridges and I will purchase them again.

I have an Epson XP400 which uses the same cartridges and they work very well.
