Review on EPSON T200XL420-S - DURABrite Ultra High Capacity Yellow Ink Cartridge For Expression And WorkForce Printers by George Sullivan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not worth it if you want to print more than 35 pages

I purchased the box with the 4 cartridges, black, cyan, magenta and yellow. I know I should have read the description better but felt it was very misleading that only the black ink was XL. I purchased this on 11/22, delivered on 11/24 and it's only 12/15. I've printed 18 small 4x6 pictures, maybe 10 mostly black and white documents and 6 sheets of shrinky dinks, mostly only containing a single 3x3 inch picture and my magenta is already giving me a low warning. I know that inkjets are notorious for going through ink but at these prices, I should be able to print more than 35 total documents (18 small pictures, 6 even smaller pictures and 10 docs).Also, I added up the cost of purchasing each cartridge from this set individually and it totals $56.04. You're saving a whole $1.05 before tax. The total of buying all of the colors (minus black) in XL? $50.98. Epson sells all of the colors with black in XL for a total of $89.99 yet if you add the $16.99 x 3 for the colors and $29.99 for black, you get $80.96. So it's actually cheaper to buy XL individually.

Pros
  • N/A
Cons
  • The cartridge may not fit securely in all printer models
