Premium Quality Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Photo Black

(Electronics) We just replaced our piretnr after 7 years. We had an HP piretnr before, and purchased another one because we loved the first one. The new piretnr (C47950 takes these tiny HP 60 cartridges. I thought for sure I was doing something wrong when I ran through the first cartridge. When I took them out, I compared and they ARE smaller than the previous cartridges we bought for the old piretnr. When I went to shop around for new cartridges, I saw the statement that it will print about 200 pages per cartridge. They aren't kidding! We home school, so 200 pages of printed materials for two students is NOTHING. We are blowing through these left and right and I am disappointed. Had I known before, I would have purchased a different piretnr all together. I print everything in draft quality since my kiddos will literally see it once, color it or answer the questions and be done with it, and still, I counted 198 pages last time. While these cartridges are definitely less expensive, I would definitely do a page-for-page comparison before investing in a piretnr that requires these cartridges. At this point, we're spending just as much money for me to print one and make copies at a local print shop. I give it 3 stars because it's a cheap alternative if you don't print very often, but if you're a print-heavy house, you may want to find something else.
