Epson T048120 Black Ink Cartridge (Stylus Photo R300, R300M, and RX500 Printers)

Excellent. Don't buy cheap ink when you're dealing with with your printer or copier. It would be like filling your car with bad gas. Can only bring you trouble and grief.

This toner is not sold any cheaper around here. It is so worth it to have your toner cartridges arrive at your home without searching the shelves for the right one. I LOVE the fast service and every cartridge I have received has been full and has worked until the last drop is gone.

The cartridge inserts easily and the ink doesn't run or smear.Epson makes a quality product but ink prices are just to high for how quickly it runs out. I bought my epson printer for $39.99 and have just spent over $70 on ink?!

Response of supplier was top-notch. Product was delivered quickly, well packaged and shipment complete.

The box was damaged when it came in and the shipping and handling was poorly stated.

The price wasn't better than what I can get at the local office supply stores. I have to go to the office stores anyway for my other supplies. I bought this because the color pack is well priced and I needed black too. I don't regret buying it, but I expect Amazon to have a better price.

I ordered this, as I have many items from Amazon and had not received it after 2 months. I cancelled the order.

No problems with the cartridge so far. Cheaper price compared to COMP USA, Office depot, etc..

Great Bargain with the ink costimg more than printers. You are better off, just dumping the printer and buying a new one for what the ink cost.
Nice to find a bargain

I swear they run out real quick but I think it is just Epson... being Epson... Work great with my R300.

Nothing beats genuine Epson ink. I would not use anything but genuine Epson ink in either of my two printers. Quality is number one.

The service was speedy, as usual. I wish Epson would offer an online deal that includes all the ink in one pack. Currently only one store offers this, and it still is not as cheap as buying the 5 color ink and black ink packages through Amazon.com. Maybe most people go through black ink faster than the colors, but most of my Epson R320 printing is photos, so my ink use is pretty even.

This item arrived in good condition during the time frame promised. It is a quality product which works well in the computer printer. Thank you for delivering this product as promised.

I ordered this same cartridge in June and paid $13.68. It was a good price and I was happy with the product. When I went to reorder today, it was $18.40. It went up almost $5.00 for the same cartridge in 3 months. I think I'll check out my local office supply store instead. They still sell it for about $14.50.

Received ink array very quickly - it's the genuine Epson ink (my copier won't accept anything but--). Happy to have found this seller.

After trying a cheaper imitation ink cartridge, I can now say that using Epson ink cartridges is the only reliable way to keep your printer working properly. This is mainly true for color accuracy of printed color material. Now I am convinced.

I own an Epson printer and am very pleased with it and the cartridges that go with it

What does one say.. It is ink. It prints and does not run

But as far as ink cartridges go these aren't bad, the changing was clean and easy, just wish that the machines had a larger capacity.

it's inconvenient to get the black cartridge from Amazon, then colored ones from other vendors.

I like using factory ink becasue I know they work well and will last. The only thing you have to watch for is a good price. I found one on Amazon, but it does vary. Keep an eye out and plan ahead.

I have an Epson printer and NEVER buy knock-off inks. Whenever I need to restock I always shop around for the best price. Amazon came through once again for having the best price available. I won't hesitate to shop with them again for my Epson supplies.

The Epson T048120 ink works great, but even at Amazon's disounted price, buy the second time I buy ink I could have bought a new printer. The high price of ink is a hidden cost of inkjet printers.

The ink works fine. I think it lasts a long time and it prints clean, clear documents. Part of that is due to the quality Epson printer I have too. The listing for this ink should include that it also works with the RX600...

This ink is exactly as the original supplied with my printer. The original lasted over six months with no clogging or drying out.

I have the Epson R300 printer and it does a nice job printing photos. I am sure lots of printers do as well. My Problem??
The ink is expensive and...
1. The cartridges are not full when purchased from Epson and
2. The printer shuts down when there is at least 20% of the ink remaining. How do I know? I cut one open and ink poured out.
I called Epson to see if there was an override available - no sir. So you are faced with buying expensive ink and changing cartridges that have a lot of ink still in the cartridge.
How to make a customer mad at Epson!

This ink may not smudge much, but it sure runs - a lot!! The least bit of moisture and the words become illegible. I'm going back to HP -- as long as I'm getting ripped off on outrageous ink prices, I may as well at least get something that will hold up.

Okay, I don't get it. ALL of these FIFTEEN reviews were written on either October 29 or 30th. What are these people talking about it having a $1,000,000 price tag?? It costs $13.49!!! The only reason it's sold at this price is because it's the same size as the other color ones at the same price. The larger black ink cartridge for the CX6400 is almost twice as big, that's why it costs more. Gosh, people these days.

But apart from that, I guess the cartridge is okay, I mean, what can you say about an ink cartridge. I had the printer to this cartridge -- BAD printer, the R300. Never worked. But I guess the ink was aight.

This is the same ink that the Treasury department uses. It's great stuff. Worth every penny.

If only this item qualified for SuperSaver shipping I would have bought it. Too bad, :( now I have to shop around for a better deal.

To the people who haven't figured it out why its so appropriately priced. This cartrigde has the special ability to print all the secret service document. I think they forgot to mention that you need security clearance to add this item to your shopping cart. Don't worry if they don't catch you there they will catch you at the check out.

This item, although pricey, is worth much more than it costs. They're actually selling the machine that makes the cartridges, complete with materials. You can earn your money back and more by selling the ink cartridges =)

I could probably start my own profitable business, if I start doing refills of these at half the prices....
Where are my angel investors....
---- ok, this review was written when the price of this was a million dollar, price msitake on behalf of amazon.

This is a great product though, I've used it for couple of time include one time as a gift. The quality of print out seems much better now. I think it's because of better quality of ink and it seems like it doesn't dry that often.

Also, graphics which black heavy usage appears more uniform without shades of gray. So I guess, even if its using more ink, the quality is more uniform and better

I am getting 20 at least with my co-workers and friends.

I'll give it one more star, if the price drops by couple of hundred thousand dollars.

But then the printers are so cheap (and you are not paying sales tax on this ink) that it may not be a bad deal at all

$1,000,000 is outrageous!

I will use carbon copies instead.
