ONLY for old firmware

This product is a great alternative to overpriced Epson cartridges. Works exactly as you would expect. UNLESS you have recently updated your printer firmware. Epson has released a firmware update that will end EZ ink compatibility with its printers. Epson's goal is clear; Eliminate competitors to continue to justify the high prices of their ink. Many companies do this whenever there are reasonably priced alternatives on the market that complement their products. Epson is the same company that uses cyan ink to scan and copy black and white documents (with the black and white setting selected). So it's not hard to believe that they're going to release an update that will essentially mess up EZ Ink, who knows. how many printers. However, most users probably don't (and won't) update their printer firmware, so chances are that most of you with printers compatible with this ink can get by with outdated firmware. This means they can still save tons of money by using EZ Ink as their preferred supplier. We hope so. And thank you EZ Ink for helping those of us who fell under Epson's inked boot.
