Review on High Capacity Cyan Ink Cartridge: EPSON T252 DURABrite Ultra For Epson WorkForce Printers by Mike Donathan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Prints Look Great, and These Cartridges Truly Are High Capacity

I'm no expert, but I find that Epson DURABrite Ultra ink yields print quality at least as good as what you get from nicer Canon and HP inkjet printers. But the capacity of these cartridges is what really stands out. As of this writing, my Epson WorkForce WF-3640 has printed 901 color pages since I bought it in February, 2016. My guess is that the first 200 of those were printed with the 252-I magenta cartridge that came with the printer, and the other 700 were printed with the 252XL magenta cartridge that replaced the initial cartridge in May, 2016. According to the printer's ink monitor, the magenta cartridge is still half full. Impressive!

Pros
  • Fast service and good product on the auto order so don't have to try to order before I run out.
Cons
  • The ink may not dry quickly enough, leading to smudging or smearing
