Great alternative! - Printer parts and accessories

**Updated 10/16/19. I'm increasing my rating to 5 stars. The problem was with the Epson, not the ink. Epson has released a firmware update that blocks third-party cartridges. I realized that the problems only started after I updated my printer. This ink works fine, but you CANNOT update the firmware. To solve my problem I had to do a hard reset and install an older firmware version. After following these steps, my printer worked like clockwork! ----**Updated 9/3/19 This ink worked fine from March 1st to September 1st. I print A LOT (brochures, photos, work papers, homework supplies, etc.) and still have a significant amount of ink left over, which is incredible. I type several times a day. On September 1st, the printer stopped in the middle of a print job and showed the message "The following cartridges cannot be recognized." I have no idea what happened. Attempted to uninstall/reinstall cartridges. I updated the software and drivers. I've followed all the troubleshooting steps I could find, but the error message still comes up, so now I have to buy genuine Epson ink to use my printer. For reference, I have an Epson XP 446 printer. I still give it 3 stars because I've had a great 6 months of printing. ---- Epson ink has become a bit expensive for me as I print a lot of documents and pictures. It went so far that I changed the ink every week and a half. I was looking for an alternative and came across this product. Based on the reviews, I was a little worried my Epson printer would detect this; however, I had no problems. I've had these ink cartridges installed in my printer since March 3rd and I have quite a few. I work from home and print a little every day. I am very happy with this purchase!
