I got to spend 2 cartridges of this generic brand on my printer, before the third will complement the locks me. Even by delivering brand cartridges, my printer wants to know nothing. Same story for my sister who also has an Epson XP205. A colleague who works in the Printer Maintenance confirmed me, we can get to use the generic Epson some time before the printer will be locked and is good for the trash. In short, as these cartridges, Epson flee. And then we just talk about ecology ... the printer itself is a consumable.
