Jet-Tec Compatible Cartridge for Epson Stylus

I bought CL511 and PG510 made by JET TEC for my Canon Pixma MP280 on facebook and when I replaced the old one with these I was really shocked and embarrassed to find out that these ink cartridge although sealed and packed professionally but they were empty of ink! Yes, empty of ink at all. I could not believe it. I was instructed to press STOP/RESET button for 5 seconds to resolve the problem but for no avail. How could someone do that. It says on the product "very British"! Someone has to stop it. Please, please please..DO NOT BUY from JET TEC. It is completely waste of time and money.

Over the last couple of years I've tried these cartridges two or three times believing I was just "unlucky !" I've persevered with cleaning, recleaning and generally messing about. Well, having taken two colour ones back today I give up !.... they're basically KR*P ! and if there was a Zero rating they would have got one !

Fitted a magenta cartridge to my Epson Stylus CX4700 and not recognized. It says compatible on the container! Took it out (ink dripping out) cleaned and replaced it, still not recognized. Serious poor cartridges! Will take it back to shop, which doesn't help me today!

I fitted Jet Tec compatible ink cartridges to my Epsom SX215. Black, yellow and cyan work but magenta dosent. When magenta is fitted it corrupts my printer which then says none of the ink cartridges are compatible. Take the Jet Tec magenta cartridge out and fit any other make magenta and it charges up fine and the printer works correctly. I told Jet Tec this and they claim that they have no record of anyone else ever having this type of problem with their cartridges. By the way; I tried four identical Jet Tec magenta cartridges and all four caused the identical problem. I needed a cartridge as a matter of urgency and this caused me a lot of grief. I will not be buying Jet Tec again.

I have been using Jet-Tec cartridges for my SX100 over the last year and I'm very happy with them. The print quality is as good as Epson and they are £4.99 as opposed to £9.95 for Epson. They don't last quite as long but are still better value overall. If I can get discounted Epson cartridges I buy them, if I can't I buy Jet-Tec. The "cartridge not recognised" warning that some refer to simply means that the ink is out. It clearly states this on the inclosed leaflet! Also, I disagree that they clog the printer heads any more quickly than Epson ink. Epson dealers are obviously going to say they do as they want you to buy the more expensive product!

Repeatedly finding only 3gram / 3 ml delivered despite packaging saying 13 mi.

Easy to check weight before and after using a modern digital kitchen scale.

Now cartridge not recognised!

Don't buy.

I have read many reviews on jet-tec ink. I have used it for years with no problems. I use T0801/2/3/4/5/6 in my printer. For those having problems with colour matching try setting up your monitor and printer with a calibration system i.e. with a Colormunki. For those who only print occasionally you will find if you turn your printer on every other day so it can run through its mini clean program you will find that you will not have the problem of dry printer heads. I hope this will help some of you and sorry to those that think i'm teaching them to suck eggs

I bought 3 packs of "epson compatible" ink cartridges for use on my Epson Stylus DX4450 and have had many printing problems. I have re-installed the black ink cartridge several times but could not produce a print of documents in black. Has anyone found and resolved similar problems?

The cartridges were certainly much cheaper than Epson, but if they don't work, what is the point in buying them.

My CX6400 has stopped printing the yellow and black inks so I took it to a Epson service shop. They said that only Epson cartridges contain cleaner fluid which is necessary in order to not clog up the printer heads.

By using compatible, these are really damaging my printer in the long term. Sellers and retailers especially the supermarkets should warn against this potential damage and at the very least less you alongside some cleaner fluid cartridges to run through your printer. Yes, compatible are cheaper but in the long run they are damaging printers in the long-term appartently said this expert printer service centre.

The formula that Epson adopt for their cartridges is unique and is copyrighted so compatible manufactuers can only sell colour not the formula.

Much cheeper than originals for Epson printer and the cartridges have an extra 33% ink in them. Prints are just as good as the original epson ink produced.
