Epson Original C13T08064011 T0806 Light Magenta Ink Cart, Genuine

Great

Quality prints everytime!I usually purchase the TO807 Multipack which ususally works out a bit cheaper than individual cartridges, but as the different inks do not 'run out' at the same time I find this is a cost effective way to maintain a complete spare kit without having an overstock of various pigments.

I've stuck with Epsons own inks for years now. I used to use compatible inks years ago until I realized that all the trouble I used to get with lines all over my print, was down to the inks drying up. and not the printer itself. I sometimes don't use my printer for weeks but the ink always works perfectly, no lines, no clogging up. My printer is nearly 6 years old now and still working perfectly with no clogged up jets.

Product very good but all Epson cartridges are overpriced which is not the fault of the seller. I have used various compatibles in previous Epson printers and they have really messed up my printers leading to premature replacements. I figure it is cheaper to use genuine ones in the long run. I get best price on Amazon for the genuine ones.

I buy the genuine Claria ink so that the photos I print out don't fade when I put them up on the wall. The ink doesn't clog up the printer jets so much and therefore less is wasted by not having to clean the heads so frequently. The vegetable dye inks fade after a year.

The EPSON Stylus Photo RX 560 is a superb printer, but uses ink like it's going out of fashion ! The Light Magenta and Light Cyan are always the first to empty for some reason ! It uses more ink cleaning prior to printing, than at any time, so any savings that can be made are essential. That's the only reason why I buy from Amazon ! But it's not always the cheapest !!

I give this five stars, but I should give it one. Since when can something like this cost so much money. It's ink. I mean, just a few short years ago, humankind was just squishing berries and boiling seeds to make dyes. Then someone invented ink and just the monks and stuff got to use it. And here we are today. Paying through the nose for a light magenta ink cartridge for a printer. Sigh.

My Epson printer often does not recognise inks that are not true Epson inks, so I now always buy the originals. Colours are great and last a decent length of time.
