Epson Printer Ink Problems

mary-op

I bought some ink for my printer today (Epson Stylus SX200) -put it in as usual and got a message up saying 'Ink not compatible' ! :eek:It's not refil ink, its the proper stuff and all the numbers match with what the printer is telling me.
I've switched it off for now in the hope it'll forget what its told me but wondered if anyone else has had problems like this.

You have to make sure they are the correct generation.
Some earlier compatibles wont work with later printers.

Thanks. How do I find that out .........with the numbers all matching on the cartridges and the printer message I assumed they must be the right ones.

just had a quick look, apparantely you need to get Generation 7 cartridges for them, have a look on ukdvdr

Thanks...............bear with me for being a bit of a numpty with all this stuff............I'll have a look.
All I know is whats on the box and the cartridge numbers are TO711, TO712, TO713, TO714

Box says TO715 Multipack

I dont think you can tell just from the box, UKDVDR do Gen 7 cartridges for your printer for 4.04 for a set of 4 plus 4.74 delivery.
Sometimes they have special offers on for these, buy 5 sets and get free delivery but you will have to keep looking or sign up to their newsletter.
I can vouch for the quality of the inks from them as well.

Thanks a lot for your help. I'll bear that in mind. Ink's seldom cheap it seems.

I use the same ones as you and I've had no problem with the ones from ukdvdr

Thanks for your help..............I switched it off and unplugged it................just turned it back on again and wonder of wonders..............it printed !!
I do think these machines have a mind of their own..........least now I know where I can get cheaper ink ...........thank you both;)

I am using an Epson Stylus SX200 printer, my second one because my first developed faults, one of which was refusing to print using compatibles. With my present model, I am using remanufactured inks and during the process of printing it warns me that I am not using genuine cartridges but by pressing a 'continue' button I can print without further trouble.
