Immediately black cartridge compatible with my printer XP205 recognized by the software as an EPSON 18XL. (My level in the windows software) But I had updated the firmware and I was worried because some comments indicated that the cartridges were not recognized. For me no problem, I have kept the original color cartridge EPSON because not empty and no problems. In short this taken not to hesitate, although insert the cartridge (it clicks) I recommend this brand ... For the compatibility of the color cartridges I can not say and the life it's too early ... Super fast delivery / Sunday evening ordered and delivered Wednesday ...
