Epson r2400: Has anyone found replacement ink cheaper than Epson but equal in quality?

Be very careful in picking a replacement ink. The cheap stuff on Ebay will work, but the color gamut is wildly different so color management will be a nightmare. I have been using the Lyson CavePaint in my 2200 for years with excellent results, it actually has a slightly wider gamut than the epson ink. I am waiting for their 2400 compatable ink and bulk feed system before purchasing my 2400, but I will trust their inks.

I just read that comboink.com has compatible cartridges @ 4.99 for each color. It would be nice to know before purchasing. It's insane to give what they ask for on ink cartridges. I order from comboink for my Epson and they work perfect for that model. My scanner light burn out on my Epson and I need to be able to scan and copy things.

Yes the ink from Inktoneram works great over high priced OEM inks from Epson. Save a whole lot of money.

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

the ink I purchased was in original packaging, so I know it is genuine Epson ink. I would contact Epson and give them the cartridge details. Perhaps the lot # has an issue.

I have a brand-new Canon Pixma printer. No problems whatsoever if I use genuine 240xl, 241xl ink cartridges. Replacements DO NOT FUNCTION, REGARDLESS THE MANUFACTURER. The printer simply cannot identify them. WHAT A RIP-OFF ! peter3434@att.net

I don't know but have never had a problem with any of these ink cartridges. I have tried the ones that are not Epson brand that are refills or knockoffs and those did not perform as well.

Yes, I use it on my Epson r2000. A bit of a warning though. To reset the chips you have to manually pull then out and remove the battery to reset the chip. However the color is rich (especially the black) and the savings on ink are awesome.

you just need to know the printer model number. I bought replacement ink on amazon as well. The best part of this printer is you can get generic ink-you don't have to buy the 'brother' brand which is common with other brands, so your ink costs will be much lower.

I have an Epson Workforce 545. I ordered these cartridges for this machine and they've worked flawlessly. And for a fraction of the cost of OEM cartridges!

Epson is very frustrating with not recognizing cartridges, and I have heard sometime they don't even recognize their own. I use only remanufactured cartridges which work just fine, and I have not found them harmful at all to the printer as Epson keeps threatening. It helps to find a brand of remanufactured cartridges that Epson usually does not reject (try different ones). When it rejects a new cartridge you have put in, you can try removing all cartridges and reinserting them, pressing each in firmly. This often works. Sometimes, when Epson won't accept a new cartridge I have installed, I then replace also any others that look like they are very low, and when I do that, then the Epson finally accepts the cartridge. Try that as well. I find a lot of ink is wasted with all of this, so it makes up for the loss to use the very much cheaper remanufactured cartridges!

It works in my Epson r2880, so I'm guessing it would work in the 4880. It is "almost" as good as the Epson brand. I'm pretty fussy about paper, and this one is very nice, but it is slightly less "substantial" than the epson brand, even if the weight is the same. I don't know how else to explain it.

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

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've purchased before for a different printer and worked perfectly. Recently, we purchased some for a WF-2530 and so far only put the black but worked perfectly fine. The Epson 200 ink is compatible with WF-2520 WF-2530 WF-2540. I would make sure you purchase directly from the vendor however, as there are other vendors that also sell the product. So far happy with them.They are not as good as the Epson brand however. I would not print professional photos with it. Also, do not use draft mode. But for every day use (coupons, school projects, etc) they work very well.

Each cartridge I replaced immediately failed the nozzle check. I don't know why I kept going but... it only got worse. So I ordered the genuine Epson inks ($40 for black + colors set- 2 orders by the way). After 5-10 cleanings, waiting a day after doing two in a row (as recommended), it finally seems to work again. And the cleaning used up about 1/2 the ink. So it took $20 worth of ink (and a lot of determination) to overcome the cheap $6 solution that seemed (and was) too good to be true. DONT TRY IT!!!!!To be specific: This is with an XP-310.

I can not speak for Epson. My experience with the WP-4530 shows no ink leak to date.
