Compatible or not?

Hello,
Does anyone know if compatible inks will work in my Epson DX7400 printer? I have been reading that some of the newer model printers will not take compatibles :confused: Thanks for any advice.

    lots of compatible manufacturers will guarantee their products so is there a particular brand you were looking at?

    Any compatible will do, as long as it works in my Epson DX7400.
    Thanks statman

    I bought a DX 5050 in may 2007 and the first compatible cartridges were accepted fine(just the usual not genuine message). When I tried to replace a compatible with a compatible they were not recognised.
    What I did, was take out the new compatible and put an empty epson original (which I had saved),
    it showed up empty of course , so I then replaced it with the compatible and it was accepted!!
    It looks like Epson are playing silly !!!!!!s to make life difficult for anyone not buying their product...scandalous!
    Nice to save.

    there is a couple of different versions that all.

    to be honest I would buy the latest version cartridges as the price difference is very little especially when compared to genuine epson
