Cartridge Type

	Genuine or OEM (Original) Cartridges	Remanufactured Cartridges	Compatible Cartridges
Description	OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer, meaning the cartridge was made by the same company that made your printer. Original brand cartridges are very reliable and sometimes the only option if your printer is new to market or uncommon.	Remanufactured ink is a genuine brand cartridge that has gone through one cycle of use. After use, the cartridge is recycled, acquired by a remanufacturing facility and put through a rigorous professional refurbishing process. During the refurbishing process the cartridge is disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and tested for quality. It's then carefully refilled, tested again and brought back to life. Buying remanufactured prevents one less cartridge from ending up in a landfill.	A compatible cartridge is a brand new ink cartridge built by a manufacturer other than your printer. It's like buying the generic version of the genuine brand. Most are uniquely designed to differentiate from genuine cartridges. Despite any structural difference you may notice, the cartridge will still fit in your machine and print a full yield, just like the original brand.
Price Factors	Many printer manufacturers follow the razor-and-blades business model which may result in higher priced genuine cartridges.	Remanufactured ink is much cheaper than the original brand ink. It's far more cost effective to refurbish a previously used cartridge than create a new OEM from scratch.	Compatible ink is much cheaper than the original brand. Compatible suppliers don't have to worry about the additional costs that hinder OEMs like new printers or firmware, which lets them keep prices low.
Quality	Original cartridges work extremely well and are covered under a warranty by the printer manufacturer	High quality remanufactured ink will match the quality of the original, but not all remanufactured ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.	High quality compatible ink will match the quality of the original, but not all compatible ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.

What's the difference between ink and toner cartridges?

	Ink Cartridges	Toner Cartridges
Printer Type	Work with inkjet printers	Work with laser printers
Material	Liquid ink	Dry powder
How it works	Inkjet printers use a series of nozzles that spray tiny drops of ink directly on the print suface	Laser toner printers use static electricity and heat to bond dry toner powder to a page
Commonly used by	Casual home users, small business and photographers	Large businesses and schools

Number of Pages You Can Print	A cartridge's page yield is the estimated number of pages you can print. Page yield is based on 5% page coverage. This means that the quoted page yield is based upon printed pages where only 5% of the page has been imprinted with ink. For example, a short memo has approximately 5% coverage. If you have a cartridge that has a yield of 500 pages, it can print 500 pages of that short memo. If you are printing letters, photos or graphics, your coverage will vary greatly and your page yield will drop significantly.
Cartridge Warranty and Shelf Life	Most ink and toner cartridges include a warranty or "best by" date on their box. Remanufactured and compatible ink cartridges can last 12-18 months unopened, and toner cartridges can last up to 3 years.
Cartridge Care and Storage	Only open a cartridge when you need it. Opened cartridges will eventually dry out, especially if the protective tape or clip has been removed. If you have an open ink cartridge around and would like to try and prevent it from drying out, place it nozzle side up in a plastic airtight tub. If your cartridge came with protective tape or a clip reapply both before storing. Place a damp cloth or paper towel in the tub, next to the cartridge and keep it stored in a cool, dark place.

I religiously used Epson inks for many years. As an amatuer photographer, I had many professional mentors. I was trained to use only Epson inks for all the usual reasons. In recent years, even some of my professional friends have turned to ink alternatives.
4inkjets (LD) was the first alternative I tried. I've used it for a couple of years now and have no complaints. The savings are obvious, but we care more about the quality of our prints. Only 4 stars for quality because of the unknown. I personally can not tell a difference in the prints. Who knows about the longevity? This review applies to all colors.

I bought a full set of cartridges to replace a working set in my Epson R2400. Three of the replacement cartridges had to be reseated once, and a third never properly worked. I used about 25% of the ink trying to eliminate clogged nozzles. The Cyan cartridge never worked better than about 50%. I tried a black and white test print that had a severe magenta cast.
I put my old cartridges back in the printer, and the printer quickly returned to proper function. I reprinted the black and white test print and the color cast was gone.
Well, $40 down the drain. I knew I was taking a risk. Live and learn.

Comments about Remanufactured T059120 Black Ink Cartridge for Epson:

With this order, I'll be phasing out the last of my Epson ink cartridges. Everything in the printer now is LD except for the black. I've not had any problems with the LD cartridges and can not tell the difference in my prints. Big difference in my bank account. Thanks LD.
There may be some archival difference 85 years from now, but it won't affect me.

I purchased a complete set of inks for my Epson Stylus Photo R2400. My second print the black stopped working half way through. Used up half my other inks trying to clear the cartridge. Now I have to wait for a replacement.

As epson charges so much , I was leery about buying these, however so far there is negligible difference in quality for less 65 percent of the epson price, this will be a big help with this lovely printer quick shipping !

Comments about Remanufactured T059120 Black Ink Cartridge for Epson:

one more thing, if you are having trouble with a pink sheen to photos, do a nozzle clean, twice, and all the other requisite tools for sharpening the printer up . Once you have done this the cartridges seem to do just fine !! I am not going to review every single one as they all work fine (8 in total bought of different colors, if I have an issue I will post it, but so far so good)
