I have an EPSON STYLUS DX 4050 and needed to replace the coloured ink. I puchased an Epson Multipack through Amazon. After installing the coloured inks I was informed by Epson’s software that:
a) The yellow ink T0714 was genuine.
b) The installed cartridge is incompatible with this printer.
If only one of the cartridges becomes empty (or is reported as incompatible due to a faulty chip) then this printer becomes unusable.
Epson customer service said that the troublesome cartridge would have to be sent to Telford for testing. If found faulty it would be replaced. Meanwhile, if I wished to use my printer I should purchase more Epson ink!
I contacted Amazon who immediately replaced the Multipack. The new ink cartridges work and I can print again.
I have discovered by this experience that replacing Epson cartridges can actually disable my printer.You may wish to purchase back-up ink
Full Marks to Amazon. None to Epson.

Inkjets are notoriously expensive to run and ink is the main consumable cost. I have an excellent Epson DX 4050 and the new inks are certainly impressive and durable. However, the cartridges are relatively small in volume and a few big photos can take a heavy toll on the inks. My local shop charges me £7.99 for a cartridge. This pack from Amazon means that each cartridge costs about £4.63. It doesn’t take a genius to see that this is a cracking deal. Bless you, Amazon!

The High Street price for the T7015 multi-pack is scandalous. Often up around the £38 mark in specialist computer shops. I was tempted on 2 occasions to try ‘compatible’ cartridges from 2 different supermarkets (hits back pocket twice). BIG MISTAKE. I thought my printer was packing up when I put them in, the quality was awfull. For ‘Compatibles at bargain prices’ read ‘It will fit in the slot and squirt coloured ink onto the paper’. Pay the Amazon prices for the genuine product, that’s the real bargain.
Update to the review Oct 09: – just received a cartridge from Bentham Ltd, all packaging had been removed including the airtight sealed wrapper that protects the cartridge from damage and drying out. I asked for a replacement but received an email from them saying that they employ people to remove packaging for ease of posting.
Epson actually print a warning on the inner bag “Open this package only when you install the enclosed cartridge. For best printing results use up this cartridge within 6 months of opening the package”.
My request for a replacement was declined.
How do I know if it is an original or a refilled cartridge? In short, I don’t.
Amazon should stop Sellers removing packaging that is pictured in the item details.
God knows what you’d receive if you ordered a box of chocolates.

Having previously used compatible inks in a previous epson printer I always experience that the Printer heads needed cleaning nearly every time I used it this made it highly wasteful of the inks and therefore, false economy. The printer never worked properly even when I reverted to Epson cartridges. So when I purchased a new Epson printer I vowed I would only used Epson cartidges. Since doing this I don’t have any more problems with the heads needing cleaning.

I have a DX4450 which takes the 711 series cartridges. I use these high capacity versions without a problem. However, you will need to trim a tiny bit of plastic from one end of the cartridge to allow it to fit. You’ll need a Stanley knife or craft knife – don’t try it with your carving knife. You will need to study the standard cartridge next to the high capacity version to see what neeeds removing. They appear to be made with a series of raised strips on the non-chip end to control where they will fit so numptys don’t put blue in yellow, etc. To the fellow that posted 9 days ago – I hope you still have the high capacity cartridges, I recommend having a go to fit them as described above.
Review here if you get them to fit other printers.
