Review of Epson 68 Ink Cartridge (T068120-D2) 2-Pack - OEM, Black (T068120*2) for Epson Stylus C120, CX5000, CX6000 Inkjet Printers - Retail

Gotta have em if you want to keep your printer warranty - using OOB inks will void the warranty. Not only that, but the last printer I used non-oem ink in, the print head leaked all over and produced streaks and smears the rest of its life, regardless how much I cleaned it. Let's face it, noone likes the exorbitant prices on inks, but Epson's ink is the highest quality. It does not smudge and smear when wet, the cartridges don't cause leaks and the cartridges do last MUCH longer than the cheap crappy refurb/refill inks.

When Epson starts making a printer under <$50 that works with Linux, and includes inks with it, then maybe I'll switch back to the refurb/refill cheap inks again. Until then, lesson learned - stick with OEM, suck up the cost, and print in grayscale draft mode to make the ink last longer!

Best price I could find for Epson's overpriced ink is at Supermediastore.com.

will order from again.

super fast

Yes, the epson inks are expensive as **** but if you use any other ink you will void your warranty. Cheaper to replace the printer when it runs out of ink, how stupid is that?

The only real advantage to the OEM ink is its waterproof, compared to the cheap junk which washed completely off the paper with a drop of water.
