How are the cartridges colored? The photos look like artificial colors but the only ingredients listed are natural

The cartridges are colored due to the make of the essential oils. We have a variety of scents available (lemon, mango, eucalyptus, lavender & jasmine). If we are making a lemon vitamin c cartridge (i.e. the normal Aroma Sense shower head), we extract the natural lemon oil and instill it inside the cartridge, thus making the cartridges colored to complement the scent.

My cartridges came in retail boxes. Each color came in a separate box. The cyan, magenta, yellow, and black cartridges have expiration dates of November 2015. The photo cartridge has an expiration date of February 2016.

I can't answer you accurately because ALL of these cartridges leaked toner into the printer. The finished product had what we called "tint of the day" (either cyan, magenta, gray or yellowish). I would NOT recommend these cartridges to my worst enemy!

As with other responses, sorry but I threw the boxes away. No reason to keep then; my cartridges worked as expected. They still do. By the way, I learned my lesson: Buy cheap? That's what you'll get. Hope this helps you some.

It says: cornflour, salt, colour, annatto, flavouring. That's all it says. That and no artificial colours. I bought it to make an amazing cheesecake. What it did I have no idea, but it was good. Also there was no postage. I hope this helps.

i have no idea .... it isn't the cartridges i'd say, because mine are perfect. i regret i didn't take the time to write a review for this company i purchased from because they gave me timely service and the ink is clear, bright, sharp, and the cartridges long lasting. the pictures identical to what i see coming from my camera. is your ink running low? my printer alerts me when the cartridges are running low even though i can really keep printing, though the color then tends to start fading.

my question is if the cartridges are new only to have damaged packaging, and if black comes the XL and magenta, cyan, yellow and black photographic total cartridges are few?

They are the same colors the manufacturer makes. They are light to lift. We have been using them for a year and they have all been fine. We do a lot of printing in our office and have gone through a number of cartridges. Good luck. Good this helps.

I just cut one in two to help determine the dye content. The ENTIRE pill was white in appearance. If it has any blue dyes in it, they are not apparent. I also looked at the bottle, and it does not state any artificial colorings.Janet

The Amazon site where I bought them said genuine. The cartridges looked original, but they came in a plastic bag with a typed label, not the original boxes. The magenta went very fast, with no warning. So I'm suspicious. With opinions split, I surmise that the cartridges are coming from different vendors. How do you know which to trust? You don't. Maybe better to buy elsewhere -- preferably at an actual store.

FYI... the product showing is black ABS. I know the question isn't directed at the shown product, so... Natural is not technically "transparent", but close. It is translucent. That means some light passes through the filament, but you cannot see clear images through it... ie; don't expect to print out a toy car windshield and be able to see clearly through it. I believe, (but don't hold me to this), it is called "natural" because that is the natural color of the PLA filament with no dyes. Also be aware that they don't (at least I have yet to see this) make ABS in translucent or transparent. In addition, although Davinci claims to be able to print in ABS and PLA, they have yet to release any PLA cartridges (I've heard rumor they will later this year though).

I like the cartridges from Pilot as well as Sailor, both are quite good. I find them to be smooth, quick drying, and also pretty smudge free once dried. I hope this helps.

My apologies. When I clicked on the review link it automatically entered the text from the original listing on Amazon. That text was incorrect in showing that the lot included 3 black, 3 cyan, 3 cyan and 3 yellow when the lot does include 3 magenta cartridges. I should have caught that. Thanks.

You probably have one cartridge that is not working. That will throw off the color drastically.

The "natural" ones have only natural flavors and colors. The other, more brightly colored ones do use artificial colors.

Sorry, I can't answer that since I have not used up the color cartridge yet.

There is ink in them. You insert them as you would a regular cartridge. The ones I bought have lasted a long time and well worth the money.
