I purchased these in August, have hardly used my printed and it already says inks are running low? Never had this problem before.

I have had this problem before with ink I purchased from Sam's Club. I brought back the ink and they replaced it. Appears to be some type of problem with who's making the ink. I guess you'll have to contact the person you purchased the ink from and go from there. It's a real pain but there is not other choice. You may want to bring the ink to a store and see if they will replace it. I'm sure you (I) are not the only ones with this problem. The larger stores will know about it, just hope they own up to it.

This happened to me after not using for a while. I pulled the cartridges and reset them and it ran thru the tests and seemed to change the settings worked for quite a while after. I think it cleaned the heads.

Never had this problem either. Suggest contacting vendor and getting them to replace it.

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

Sorry, I didn't even check that. They worked fine. The printer has since died so I won't be able to know how long the ink lasts either.

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.

I wish I could. I had the same problem with mine. They wouldn't even fit in my printer right. If I were you, I would make sure to return them if it has been under 30 days. Unfortunately for me, I didn't even try putting them in until after it had already been 30 days, so I was just out the money.

I am experiencing the exact same problem. I bought this printer in 2012 and after a year, the black ink cartridges, no matter how often I changed them, would get sketchy and quit printing in black after about eight pages. VERY disappointing!

There are multiple reasons - the other inks may be low, the print heads may need to be cleaned, it could depend on the software you are using to print - if it's not Canon's, you may need to adjust the color settings within the program - you may need to do so even if it is Canon's software.

I think I read a review that they were not normal- as in smaller. However- we have had and used the printer for a couple of months- have not replaced the ink yet. We've done a fair bit of bw printing- some color- but no photos.

I had no problems with mine they worked great... just take the tape off the top and put them in the printer, might be a bad ink tank or a printer problem, you might want to try a different tank for the problem one, i ordered 2 sets and they work like the original oem ones.

I've installed one of these cartridges in my EPSON XP-400 Nov 14, 2014 and it stopped printing adequately last week... seemed to be out of ink but the Epson said it was half full. I don't use my printer every day (mu son uses it at times though) so maybe the ink dried up, or maybe the Epson does not accurately sense the level... but I don't think I've used enough ink to run out... still the price is adequate for the value so far... I put in a new cartridge and it works fine... time will tell.

Sorry I cannot provide a more helpful response, but ... it's been too long since my purchase. I think I ordered my FIRST box of ink from Amazon, but thereafter I've bought the ink locally. I CAN say that these inks don't seem to last very long.

you will always get a message that says ink is low. ugnore this and continue printing

I used to have the same problem with them, sometimes my printer says "can't recognize this or that color". What I do, is I make sure that my cartridges are full, and I take them out one by one from the printer and shake them up. For some reason, after I shake them, the printer recognize them. It's might be a "texture" problem with the ink, I think they not thick enough like the original Epson ink, so you have to shake them up constantly. I also want to note, that the first prints are going to be messy, you have to print out at least 5 copies before you get a perfect one.

I've never not used my printer for 3 months, but if It was going to be inactive, I would remove the cartridges and replace with new cartridges when I was going to use the printer. The cartridges could leak or dry out.

I hardly ever use my printer and it has not been a problem leaving in the cartridges. I think your cartridge would dry out (maybe) either way, so why take them out?

I have installed two inks at this time ,they are printing just fine. with the blacks. I have not used any others yet. Lee H.

Funny! No but the previous "used" cartridges I have used in the past didn't produce as many prints as the original, but I paid for "new" cartridges not used and I wasn't made aware of the fact . Besides that wasn't a very professional question to ask a customer but obviously you don't care.
