best photo copier product on the market! these ink cartridges are the best. the colors are fabulous and they last for ever. easy to refill no mess

Epson is rather mysterious as to the composition of their new Eco Tank inks - nothing is mentioned either on the bottles, the packaging or their website. You won't find a host of reviews on the 'net either - just mention of their previous inks - DURABrite and Claria, for example, both excellent inks, pigment-based and dye-based respectively. Both types have advantages, and both are fairly permanent and archival inks - Claria is in fact a high end photographic ink, in spite of being dye-based (the most common variety of ink in desktop inkjet printers).Sorting out multiple reviews and comments from Epson representatives, it appears that the 502 series uses a combination of both ink types - dye-based for color, and pigment-based for black. And the result is actually excellent - for routine printing, text is clear and colors are vibrant, with very little smearing, feathering or blurring when wet for either black text or color graphics on plain paper. Water resistance of color photos on Epson photographic paper (semi-gloss or gloss) is outstanding (personal test). Fading or UV resistance remains to be seen (their DURABrite pigment ink is rated archivally for over 100 years), but these appear to be quality inks, very reasonably priced (remarkably compared to cartridges), and very easy to refill in an Eco Tank printer. Highly recommended.

Hi. I love printing pictures of the guy I like and I print tons of photos of him-the Eco tank set here is the best, most money saving way to print tons of photos. I used to have a little printer with those tiny little cartridges and I was changing it every 5 minutes it seemed. (Really it was every week or two) Now I go MONTHS before even adding ink and it's never been empty and I've had my Eco tank for a year and a half and like I said-0I PRINT TONS OF PHOTOS! And their crisp, clear, spot on colors in absolute perfection! I couldn't be happier! Easy to load, too! Just lift the top, then the little cover, open the correct bottle to the one you wish to replace, turn upside down and set it in place over the tank and it pours in till full and then it stops. Take it off and your done. What could be easier than that? Money saving, quick and easy and beautiful colors. If you haven't got an Eco, you've got to get one! You'll wonder how on Earth you ever did without one-I did. I still do! Fire

Lasts a long time

This item was easy to order, I did not have to leave my project in order to get more ink for my printer to finish the project. I was able to keep working on the flyers and when the ink arrived the next day I finished the flyers and was able to get them distributed ahead of time.

No fusss no mess. Easy to use

Main thing is quality ink and this cap fits precisely as needed for no leaks or spillage!

Fantastic printer!!! These ink bottles make refilling the tanks so easy!
