Pleasantly surprised 14

Hit my Epson printer WF-3540 gained about 7 months ago, after I've had for years HP devices. So far I had to replace any of the included cartridges. The ink level indicator on the printer indicates that the color cartridges are filled even to 2/3 and the SW cartridge yet to 1/3. I find that surprising because I at HP ink cartridges always had the impression that the consumption significantly racier vonstatten went. This impression can be deceiving, because the use of the printer's intensity but highly variable.

Have the T1306 and T1301 Multipack Black ordered me immediately after purchasing the printer to have just in case replacement of the house. Each cartridge (color cartridge 10.1 ml, Black 25.4 ml) is welded vacuum-packed. Made in UK (multipack) and Indonesia (Black). The expiry date - printed at the foot end of the transparent outer packaging - is indicated by 12.2015. Until then, it will have come with safety for use!

The image of the ink is properly, in which case of course the quality of the paper used plays a major role.

Prices with about 13 / color cartridge and 21.29 / Black pride. The pricing of original cartridges is for the consumer always a nuisance. The alternative with refilling and / or third-party ends - but from the experience with other printers - occasionally unpleasant.

The Quality of the ink and the good yield this Epson cartridge into perspective the high price maybe a little.
