Epson DURABrite T127120 Ultra 127 Extra High-Capacity Inkjet Cartridge, Black (T127120)

great

What can I say about printer ink? I mean, wow. It didn't turn the printer into a 3D printer capable of recreating the toenail I lost back in 'Nam (toenail fiasco aside, it was the vacation of the 2000's so far, most definitely), but it does print out some legible (and sometimes steamy) love letters to my Jr. High crush and doesn't complain if I go vanilla and choose the Arial font. (though it prefers Heveltica (sp?)). Alas it also fails to print plum baby plum trees that I could bring with me to my new place since the bank took my house (and that prized tree), but it does do a stunning, crisp job of printing the story Plum Baby entered into the most recent NPR three minute fiction contest. Surprisingly enough, it prints the whole thing, not just an excerpt, but I've recently heard it should have ended after the sticks hit Mama in the eye (or missed her altogether - whatever). This ink also doesn't print out road kill raccoon carcasses, but it does print out beautiful "beware of stentch" signs in case I leave another one under my bed with the plums and shoulder pads Mama likes to put her hand on while she's modding and nodding into catatonia. Oh Mama. So over all, I have to give this ink 5 stars. It's been fabulous, never ever giving me a hard time for printing worthless crap - including lots of wedding bands I bend and tape around my caterpillar fingers. I love it. I think I'll write a story about it for NPR. I wonder if there will ever be a found item round, 'cause this ink was the find of the year, and I ain't ever giving it back. (Well, I might recycle the container when the ink dries up, but I might just place it lovingly under my bed and hope it regenerates. Good price or no, it still costs money, and I'm saving all my money to buy my plum tree (and my house) back from BMO Harris. Five stars.

Good ink but kinda pricey. Makes those new ink-tank printers look pretty appealing (if they weren't so damned expensive).

Gracias muy rápido

I have an Epson WF-3540 printer, and I just installed my second 127 cartridge. I first used the original cartridge (a 126 I think?) and got only 173 black pages out of it. I then installed a 127 and got 599 black pages, and 223 color (which I'm sure used some black ink). BTW, my color cartridges are all at about 1/3 full after the 223 color pages. So, 599 pages at $25 a cartridge is about 24 pages per dollar or about 4 cents per page. Not bad. We'll see how this next cartridge goes. The quality of the ink is excellent though - no complaints there at all. accuracy is also outstanding, with no fading, streaks, or artifacts. I am much happier with my Epson that with my previous HPs and Dells. As a side note, at the time of this review, it is cheaper to buy two single 127 cartridges than to buy the double 127 pack - so pay attention...

I print shipping labels every day and do some graphic design and craft projects that require a lot of ink and before I posted a review I wanted to see exactly how much I could get out of this (black) ink cartridge. Roughly, I've printed about 425 shipping labels since the beginning of March. I've done about 25 print projects that require a massive amount of ink, printed about 25 High Quality photographs and I've printed about 100 pages of things such as resumes, concert tickets, recipes, etc. I've also done a Nozzle Check and Clean two to three times since having this cartridge. After all this my ink levels were not low until yesterday. Considering that I used to pay $25-$30 for a small HP ink cartridge... where I was lucky to get 90 shipping labels printed, (not to mention that I was buying ink every few weeks) I consider this Epson Ink to be an excellent value! I have a WorkForce 7010 and though Amazon states that it won't fit my printer - it WILL! But please be aware that I've only used the black 127 cartridge due to the space inside of my printer. The color 127 cartridges will NOT fit inside of my printer. If you have this printer and you're looking to replace the black cartridge, do not waste your time or money on the 126, get the 127 instead - you'll be happier with the results and length of time that you'll have the cartridge before having to buy more ink. Hope this review helps some of you! October 15, 2013 - UPDATE Since reviewing this product, I am just now coming back to purchase another black ink cartridge. From the time of my review until now, I was able to print exactly 500 shipping labels and did about 20 detailed print jobs before the black ink started to run low. Can't beat the price here on Amazon! Still highly recommend the Black 127 cartridge!

Ink cartridges were exactly as I expected and provided consistent color print coverage. Price was less than shopping at the big box stores. Convenience of having shipped in a few days to the house was an added bonus.

Works very well...vibrant black. The larger cartridge last longer.

Item was as expected and arrived on time.

worked as it should

Good value and fast delivery. Loved that I didn’t have to go to a store.

Just installed the Magenta and Cyan- they do seem to be genuine Epson cartridges and are working correctly.

Delivered the day after order was placed. PERFECT.
