I do. Works just as well as OEM. I use a Canon printer. I assume it works aswell in an Epson

Highly recommend Precision Colors https://www.precisioncolors.com/epson.html . I use them for Canon inks and have never been disappointed. Previously used LD Products but I had one batch of colors that faded very quickly. It seemed to be an anomaly - no problems with previous or next purchase - but did some investigating and switched to precision about a year ago.

I've used Ink Farm for a year or two. Excellent customer service and no problems except it seems easier to spill some ink when changing a cartridge than with the OEM cartridges. Or that may just be my getting clumsier as I get older. Thinking of aftermarket ink cart for Epson 15000xp. Any thoughts or suggestions. Anyone used Inkfarm?
Thanks
Thanks
The quality of the prints appears the same. It hasn't been long enough to determine if they might fade over time however. Please, no comments that it will ruin my printer - I'm aware of that belief. Hope this is of some help.Dec 3, 2019 10:13:35 #

Both 4inkjets and inkfarm show prices on OEM ink cartridges that are significantly higher than what I pay at my local OfficeMax, which is certainly not a discount office supplies store. What gives with that? I agree that the remanufactured carts are a bargain but, aside from just refilling them, what does “remanufactured” mean viv-a-vis an ink cartridge?

I've been unable to use after market ink in my HP printer . If I install aftermarket cartridge it will detect that it's not HP and will not allow me to print

Most is 100% JUNK and asking for trouble, IMHO. Just get your prints outside if that's your intention. Best of luck.

I would strongly recommenced not using aftermarket ink or refill the cartridge at other places. Yes you will save money in the short term however there could be twp problems (1) the ink may change colors etc. and the photo will deteriorate after time (2) the bigger problem would be that it may ruin your printer. This did happen on my HP Inkjet printer. I used to save a lot of money (I thought) by refilling the cartridge at Costco until one day it seeped into my printer and it was not reparable and I had to buy a new printer.

I can only guess what gives but I would think that Ink Farm's goal is to sell as much of their own branded ink as possible and they don't discount, or at least not much, the Canon branded ink they also sell. I just checked prices on their website and they are as follows:
Canon, per cartridge = $23.82, per pack of 8 = $190.56, for a Canon Pro 100 printer.
Ink Farm branded = $6.49 per cartridge, 8 pack = 48.99. Shipping is usually included, at least to return customers. I don't know how these Canon prices compare to Office Max.

I get my ink for the Pro 100 at B&H and only pay about $125 for the set. Individual cartridges are $16.99
