It is not the price of the cartridge that matters. It is the price of the print. If you print a few each month, I don't feel the money saved is worth the risk of reduced longevity. If you print a lot, give them away or store them in a box, cheaper might be better. If I were selling prints, I would want my customers to have the best archival results possible.

Precision Inks have a well deserved and earned fan base. It will shock me if you get any negative reviews here.

I’m pushing 68 years so longevity is not a concern for me Lol! Wanting to find out if the ink for colors are accurate. My printer has 9 cartridges!

Do you mean "Precision Colors" ink refill system? Precision Ink makes bulk ink for the commercial printing industry, not cartridges for home/office printers.

I have used Precision Colors refill system for several years and it is excellent.

You are lucky that they have cartridges prefilled for your printer. My Canon Pro-100 they haven't had Canon cartridges since about 2018 so I have their new SE refill kit and I kept 3 sets of Canon OEM cartridges to refill.

I have been using Precision Color for several years. I refill my own Cannon cartridges. I am very pleased by their ink and support. I unfortunately can't vouch for the Epson products.

The only reason I quit using "Precision Color" was they do not offer ink for my new Epson XP-960. Check out InkOwl. They offer ink for a wider range of printers and, so far, at least a year, their ink is as good as Precision Color.

I have an older Epson R1900 printer and have just begun using Precision Colors pre-filled refillable cartridges and chip resetter. Ink is fine, cannot tell difference from OEM ink. Buy the bulk inks in 2 to 4 oz squeeze bottles and attached filler tubes.

I have an XP-950 and I get refil ink from PC. I believe your printer uses the same ink as mine. I emailed Mike re: ink for my XP-950 and he replied it is the same ink set as the Artisan 1430. He was right. That ink is a dead match for Epson OEM. I printed standard test prints and couldn't tell them apart.
