Never buy Epson ink! MIS inks are reasonably priced and as good or better than Epson. Depending on what printer you have you can go refill kits or continuous feed supply, save way long green. Get a chip resetter and refill your current cartages with bulk.

Basically it re-routes the waste ink to an external bottle which can be emptied from time to time. The mod is simple and I install it as a matter of course in new printers.
