Most Helpful Positive Review

I will continue to purchase

I do photography as a part time business. These cartridges are a little small for my usage but acceptable.

Most Helpful Negative Review

Designed for Obsolescence and Ink Waste

The Epson ink cartridges for this series printer are electronically limited so they only use a certain amount of ink, regardless of how full they actually are and they are designed so you can't refill them. The electronics won't allow more than a certain amount of ink to ever flow through the cartridge. They are designed to maximize profits and become obsolete fast, as is true with most consumer inkjet printers. If this model Epson printer detects one cartridge is empty, it requires that you change all cartridges that are showing as low on ink, even if they have useful life left. That overshadows the advertised benefit of having 8 ink cartridges as a ink saving feature.

Comments about Epson T054220 Cyan Ink Cartridge:

Once these cartridges are out of the packaging they dry out quickly. They are pricey enough, so short cartridge life lowers the over-all value.

Comments about Epson T054220 Cyan Ink Cartridge:

The toner is good quality--I never get anything other than Epson paper and inks for my Epson printer. BUT it's been raised in price over and over again. You don't fight the economic problems by making it harder to buy your products. You lower your prices a little bit so that more people can afford them and consequently you sell more. Duh! No rocket science needed. I am presently experimenting with other brands which are dollars lower in cost. Either Staples or Epson needs to wake up and lower their prices and stop thinking about "profits." This mentality will eventually help you fail, which means lots less "profits" in the long run.

Comments about Epson T054220 Cyan Ink Cartridge:

I am disappointed in how frequently I have to change a cartridge on my Epson printers. Stopped printing photographs, send then to labs now, too expensive to use Epson printers. Epson has mastered the low cost printer with expensive ink cartidges. I am very disappointed in Epson printers.
