Why buy genuine?
What you need to know
Who wants to spend time thinking about their printer? It should just work. We've developed our inks and printers to work in harmony, so that they'll do just that and give you consistent and reliable results without any fuss. That's because we invest in extensive research, high-tech manufacturing facilities and put our products through rigorous tests.
But naturally, we can't say the same for inks that we've not created. There's no assurance from Epson that so-called compatible inks or remanufactured cartridges will deliver.
Are you willing to put yourself at risk of unreliable yields and poor prints? Or worse, the cartridges failing to work or the printer breaking? Secure yourself against potential printing pitfalls by using genuine Epson ink.

The solution
There's a really simple way to ensure you can print easily and get consistent results by using Epson's genuine inks which are tested and approved. Let us explain what makes our high-performance and reliable inks so special.
Printing should be hassle-free and reliable; that's why our inks and cartridges undergo extensive research and development so that they work effortlessly together.
Our inks are designed to work seamlessly with your printer and produce high-quality and reliable results, whether you're printing text or graphics. That's why nine out of ten genuine ink users are very satisfied with the quality of their prints1.
What are the risks with non-genuine inks?
We want you to always have a trouble-free printing experience. That's why we're highlighting the potential issues you could encounter with non-genuine inks.
Imagine needing to print a flight ticket and it fails to work because the nozzles have clogged or the printer is unable to recognise the cartridge. Or worse, the cartridge has arrived broken before you've even had a chance to get started.
Non-genuine inks aren't designed and tested by Epson, which means that your printer could be vulnerable to malfunctions that are not covered by your printer warranty.
