Review on High Capacity EPSON T802 DURABrite Ultra Black Ink Cartridge For WorkForce Pro Printers by James Wickware

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Epson is the problem

I returned this item as a protest against Epson's awful policy of disabling their printers (or at least the WF-4730) if any of the color inks were depleted, as well as their firmware 'update' which disabled all non-Epson printer cartridges. I had important papers to print, and the print, though its print dialogs allow designating 'black and white only', will not allow any printing if any color ink is depleted (thereby forcing you to buy this $120 ink cartridge package, even though you have lots of black ink). This is an unnecessary policy, and will lead me to throw out this Epson printer, and never buy Epson again. No insult to the seller of this set.

Pros
  • I like having all the colors on hand verus buying individual colors.
Cons
  • Requires specialized cartridges for color printing
