I bought 3 color ink in Epson252 and 1 black 252 just two days ago. Today, two days later, these same ink cartridges are low or no ink in them. There is no way that much ink was used. Keep in mind that the color ink is $46.00 and the black single is $23.00. For $69 purchase I got nothing. Apparently the printer will not try to print if any cartridge is low on ink. What in the world is wrong with Epson? User's recommendation: at this rate don't buy Epson at all.
