Anybody ordered these recently and have a hole on the front of the cartridge? When you remove the yellow tape (as shown) ink spurts out...

My experience was not that great! The colors would not work when printing. I ended going to Staples and buying the ink from there. I would have gotten my money back if I could have, but I waited to o long. To answer the question I don't believe my had a hole, but they did not work!

Yes, same thing just happened to me today, haven't even gone through the first ink cartridge yet, I'm on here looking for answers.

They worked for me. I can't see any difference from the Epson cartridges. I would warn you that there was a little leakage from them as I removed the tape, but none since. I will order them again. Chuck

Hello. I've not experienced any leaking cartridges myself after using several dozen, but I appreciate the note of caution.

Hi there...our ink cartridges are all replaced around the same time...we tend to go through quite a bit of ink :)

I have not had a problem with the ones I have purchased. But my father purchased some refilled cartridges from someone else and I know his printer would not recognize those. So he purchased 1 black new cartridge and is running it now and his color cartridges from the refilled ones are still working with the new black cartridge. I was concerned it may happen with the ones I purchased here. But so far it has not.

Hi John, the cartridge are supposed to be "plug and use", if they are not being recognized by the printer, contact the seller, they should be fine to replace them for you. It happend once to me on one black cartridge, the seller asked me to trash it and he send me a replacement one that worked fine.

I had the same issue with one of the cartridges. I assume it's the chance one takes with super cheap ink. I did order more and if it has a problem again, I'll just pony up for the full-priced stuff.

well i ordered these and have no complaints; but try cleaning the headers due to change....request test page after cleaning. if ink quality is still poor, try repeating the process until quality is of satisfactory....good luck

The last time that happened to me, both the cartridges I'd just purchased were leaking. Return them as long as you're sure you purchased the correct cartridges for your printer.I just remembered, a leaky cartridges can't be returned but I requested a refund and my purchase was credited to my account. I love doing business with Amazon.

I don't recall if I had any issues like that or not. I'm an IT guy/computer nerd anyway so if I did, I fixed it immediately. With that said, I would recommend turning your printer off and then back on. Even try some different things like putting old cartridges in when printer is on and then turn it off, pull cartridges out and replace the new cartridges just before turning the printer back on. Make sure that any tape that may have been on the bottom of the cartridges is also removed. You'd be surprised how many people forget that. One thing to look at also, if the problem persists, is to check the settings on the actual printer and look at the ink level. If the ink level is showing that everything is full, as it should be, then the printer is at least detecting things that far. Hope this little bit will help, if not feel free to post back. If you end up having to post back, let us k ow what you be tried, and the specific issue you're having. This way I, or someone else, can give more accurate advice to further troubleshoot the issue. :)

Sorry, I cannot answer to your problem, but want to add that I cannot get yellow on my printed papers, and from the day it came it has been this way. Our HP printer has been wonderful all these years until the ink cartridges were no longer. Does anyone have any suggestion?

I actually have had this same situation with other laser printers, other brands....think it may just be a built-in reminder to have a replacement on hand. I simply continue to use the cartridge until it is fully empty but I do have my replacement on hand and ready. I may look at it differently but I don't see it as a complaint...am VERY pleased with the overall usage and the COST of usage.

I also had this problem occur just outside of the warranty period. It started with small yellow streaks. Then, when I went to replace the cartridge, it sprayed yellow ink over the inside of the entire printer.

Are you sure you replaced the yellow and not another color by mistake? Is the new cartridge empty?

My printer began spewing yellow ink, also, so I contacted Epson via their customer service number 562-276-4382. I was connected to a Level 2 Specialist and even though my printer is 4 years old and long out of warranty, they have arranged a free, printer exchange. I told them about the others here with the same problem and they said to please call and they will help you get your defective printer exchanged. I hope this helps.BTW, have your printer serial number on hand when you call.

That is a good question. I have not continue to mess with them. I found the stem in the fountain pen is weak. Some broke off. I used a small narrow nail to poke the hole but it will not go into the pen. So I am not recommending them for purchase unless they include the proper ink with them. I will revisit them today because you asked. I will get back to when I figure this out. Take care Bill
