    I have got an Epson Stylus D68 and have been using 999inks for years the cartridges they send are very cheap and they work fine on my printer.

    cartridges you have bought have got the wrong chipset.

  • I've the 115sx as well and when I bought it, I decided it would only be epsom ink I used.
    Eventually gave in and bought some black compatible. Worked ok for a few sheets, not used a day or 3 then used the rest of it cleaning. Next one fared better but back to genuine.
    Get them from here http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=777

    I also bought an SX115 as our previous Epson, for which I had bought compatible refillable cartridges, used the same cartridges.

    When I first set up the printer, it would not recognise the refillable cartridges. However, having now exhausted the supplied Epson black cartridge, I reloaded the refillable black cartridge and it has worked without any problems for the past 3-4 weeks. Still on the other three original Epson colour cartridges, but fingers crossed not expecting any problems here.

    The refill kit shown here.
