Can I finish using the Epson Brand individual cartridges that still have ink left in them, because black is the only one that has run out?

your new ciss system cartridges are bound together and will replace all the Epson cartridges at the same time. for what its worth you will save so much money on ink in the future that your loss of your remaining ink in the Epson cartridges will be miniscule.

No, the Fantasy bulk system comes with a simulated ink cartridge pack, as seen in the picture, that mimicks replacing all of the cartridges at once.

My printer is Canon Pixma iP7220 and from this set I bought, so far I have only used the big black ink cartridge PGI-250BK since it is the only one I have run out of from the cartridges loaded in my printer and that one is working quite fine. I am hoping I will not have any problems with the other cartridges when I have to load them. Sorry, I could not help with your question.

i own the workforce wp4540 .... I WOULd only suspect they are comatible if epson's ink sold or third party ink is sold is identical to both your and my model .... i please do an image search for EPSON 676XL CYAN ... THAT IS THE STANDARD only real epson cardtridge - rest are what came with and a mix of what i purchased as seen in the ink owl ... i would go off the sole reasoning of identical cartdridges required on both - excuse grammar ..i trade during day time

The same has happened to me, they tend to dry-out if not used. If you used them, try to verify you have not run out of ink.

No and Yes. NO YOU CANNOT print if it is the Black cartridge. The printer prevents all printing if the Black cartridge signals empty. In truth, there is plenty of ink left to use. It's a serious problem and was the subject of a lawsuit which Epson settled in the USA. The PRINTER WILL ALLOW you to continue if one of the COLOR cartridges is out.

They are reduced capacity cartridges. If you check on Amazon or Ebay you can get full-sized refilled cartridges at a fraction of Epson's new prices. Some of these cartridges are highly rated by users. Cheers !

Of course...I don't by anything but XL because of the cost savings. I also don't use refilled cartridges on my machine. These are brand new in retail packaging. Don't hesitate to buy these. They also had 1 year expiration dates so if you use a lot of ink (I don't) by 2.

The label on the xl200 box says that you can get 2.5 more prints from an XL than a standard cartridge. I can't find the ink liable on the ones that I have. There is not much ink in the standard cartridge that is why it seems cheaper than other cartridges. I have tried using the off brand ones, but have ruined two printers using them. The problem has been leakage. When I took the printer back, they checked to see if I was using the manufactures ink. They would not warrant the printer unless I had a full set of Epson ink cartridges in the printer. I did not so i just ate it. All the manufactures hook us on a cheap printer then make it up on ink sales. Hope this answers your question.

Epson inks can be replaced by generic ink cartridges or by using a cartridge refill kit, but, Epson does warn the owner that by doing that while still under warranty it will void the warranty. I also do high-end printing for my part-time photo work using a high end Epson (Artisan 1430) and would never use other then Epson inks. Yes, generic inks will typically save you money, but, only consider doing this after the warranty runs out! Also consider the paper you use since often, the paper made for/by the same manufacturer (Epson ink and paper) will yield the best and most consistent results.

Agree. You do have to replace each ink when they run out. On the plus side you don't have to replace the entire unit and lose the ink you haven't used yet. But the separate black ink and black photo ink is confusing.

I believe only the black ink cartridge is XL with the idea that most printing will be done using the black ink. Better chance all the cartridges will get low on ink around the same time, possibly. For the price, (all ink for printers seems to be expensive), it would be nice if they were all XL.

I am not entirely sure other than what I've seen at Epson.com. Instead if cartridges there are fixed cartridges that are fed from bulk ink tanks I use the 77 cartridges

I will not purchase ink thru Amazon - unfortunately it seems the last batches I purchased are either refills or knock off HP cartridges - i was not able to run more than 100 pages using XL black. As far as your Q. Simply go to the manufacturer's website to determine acceptable ink cartridges.

It hasn't happened to me yet as I print mostly black, however I have noticed on several HP ink Jet products that you get an issue when one color runs out. As you know the manufacturers are in the business of selling toner and ink, rather than the machines, which they often give away. I have had good results with Brother printers, however I buy all my toner from Costco who sell both OEM and compatible toner cartridges.

My cartridges have not run out yet, but I'd bet that if you specify Auto/Color, then it would not work because there is no color available. If you specify (from whatever machine you're printing from) that you want Black, then it should work fine. That's how other printers have worked for me.

Robert, I have not had any problems with these remanufactured epson printer ink cartridges. I am using the ink now. Seems to work the same as Epson brand and a heck of a lot cheaper. I just replaced my black ink because I print a lot of documents. The color cartridges seems to be holding up well and print well when I have something in color. Make sure you clean your printer jets and calibrate your printer per Epson printer manual. Hope this helps. Have a good day.

I am trying to find the ink for my printer to have on hand when the ink that comes with it runs out. So far, I can only find a 4 pack - it uses 7 cartridges. Do you have to purchase the other 3 separately? Thanks
