The seller shipped them to me very quickly in linerboard protection and colissimo while the selling price was ridiculously low. The cartridges were immediately identified by my Epson 405 printer and are well compatible as stated in the announcement. I made color prints, neat no burrs. While I have not yet tried on paper photo prints dedicated to this but it is not the use I made of it. It now remains to be seen how long they will last but within 1.5 ttc cartridge I feel I already pay for my purchase. The formula 4noires and 2 of the other colors is quite useful if you have a printer that allows only black and white prints. Conclusion: totally satisfied so I consider now only buy this type of cartridges. What economy !!
