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

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 almost 1,400 color pages since I bought it in February, 2016. My guess is that the first 200 of those were printed with the 252-I black cartridge that came with the printer, and the other 1,200 or so were printed with the 252XL black cartridge that replaced the initial cartridge in May, 2016. I just replaced that black cartridge yesterday, which suggests that these 252XL black cartridges print more than twice as many pages as the regular black ink cartridges that my prior inkjet printers used. Impressive!

Pros
  • Epson printing system is specifically designed to be used with Epson Genuine Cartridges. Use of non-genuine ink could cause damage not covered under the printer’s ltd. wnty.
Cons
  • The ink may produce ink smears or jags when printing
