Style: Ink
Pricey but the remanufactured ones either don't work at all, or they work for a short time then go belly up...

When you have the Epson work Workforce Pro 3820 it only accepts Epson cartridges none of the cheaper ones Epson cartridges run out of ink really fast I actually had some of the non-epson brand cartridges in there they worked a couple of times but then one day they absolutely refuse to work so they're worthless and then I had to actually buy the Epson brand name

Good value!
Style: Ink
Received in a timely manner. Installed with ease. Only printed a few pages but all is good so far.
Price is more than I would like but very competitive and attractive compared to local office supply stores.
