If it is factory sealed it comes with set up carts which have very little ink in them. Refurbished printers normally come with full inks, check the individual description.

Don't Buy The T2981 (29) Its Only A Starter Cartridge Go For The T2991 (29XL) High Yield Cartridges.
Verified Purchase(What is this?)

When Epson sell you a new printer (Expression XP245) they only give you starter cartridges with it which hold a very small amount of ink in them T2981 black and the T2982/3/4 colour cartridges, Multi-pack T2986 (29). I used about 3 black and 2 of each colour cartridges last month and it was costing me a small fortune to run. I later found out that Epson do a higher yield version of the T2981 & T2982/3/4 cartridges which cost only a few pounds more but hold more ink in them than the starter cartridges which I was using before. What you need is a Epson T2991 on the black which hold 11.3mls of ink rather than the 5.3mls of ink that is in the T2981 black starter cartridge and on the colours what you should be using is a Epson T2992/3/4 which holds 6.4mls rather than the 3.2mls which is in the T2982/3/4 colour starter cartridges, Multi-pack T2996 (29XL). I can even go one better, I now use a company called advantage online who stock the Epson originals plus do a British premium compatible T2991 and T2992/3/4 cartridges which hold 17mls black and 13mls per colour cartridge but cost less than half the price of price of the Epson originals. I have used them a couple of times so far and have been quite impressed. I hope you don't fall into the Epson trap of selling a very good printer (XP245) at a very cheap price and then trying to charge you load of money for starter cartridges which are nearly empty...

Question 3

Is this printer compatible with mac book pro yosemite 10.10.5 , what are the instructions of use if so ? many thanks.

Accepted Answer

SIMPLY YES. I have a iMac ,a iPad and iPhone all of which talk to the Epson.By the way i have had many printers of the home variety, this is by far the best value and photo quality i have ever had.BUT, you must use Epson photo paper and inks(there is a separate photo black as well as a print black in the 625).I have compared good quality paper with Epson paper the difference in the final print is obvious. I also have bought the 335 for my son who loves it. Perhaps for the small cost difference i would go for the 625.

Question 4

are there any cheeper inks available or have they "fixed it" so you can only use branded ?
