1 Poor Value
I have the Epson R300 printer and it does a nice job printing photos. I am sure lots of printers do as well. My Problem??
The ink is expensive and...
1. The cartridges are not full when purchased from Epson and
2. The printer shuts down when there is at least 20% of the ink remaining. How do I know? I cut one open and ink poured out.
I called Epson to see if there was an override available - no sir. So you are faced with buying expensive ink and changing cartridges that have a lot of ink still in the cartridge.
How to make a customer mad at Epson!
2 Smudges vs. runs!
This ink may not smudge much, but it sure runs - a lot!! The least bit of moisture and the words become illegible. I'm going back to HP -- as long as I'm getting ripped off on outrageous ink prices, I may as well at least get something that will hold up.
3 ...ok?
Okay, I don't get it. ALL of these FIFTEEN reviews were written on either October 29 or 30th. What are these people talking about it having a $1,000,000 price tag?? It costs $13.49!!! The only reason it's sold at this price is because it's the same size as the other color ones at the same price. The larger black ink cartridge for the CX6400 is almost twice as big, that's why it costs more. Gosh, people these days.
But apart from that, I guess the cartridge is okay, I mean, what can you say about an ink cartridge. I had the printer to this cartridge -- BAD printer, the R300. Never worked. But I guess the ink was aight.
4 I could have bought this one
If only this item qualified for SuperSaver shipping I would have bought it. Too bad, :( now I have to shop around for a better deal.
To the people who haven't figured it out why its so appropriately priced. This cartrigde has the special ability to print all the secret service document. I think they forgot to mention that you need security clearance to add this item to your shopping cart. Don't worry if they don't catch you there they will catch you at the check out.

6 This item is great!
This item, although pricey, is worth much more than it costs. They're actually selling the machine that makes the cartridges, complete with materials. You can earn your money back and more by selling the ink cartridges =)
7 good business oppurtunity.
I could probably start my own profitable business, if I start doing refills of these at half the prices....
Where are my angel investors....
---- ok, this review was written when the price of this was a million dollar, price msitake on behalf of amazon.
This is a great product though, I've used it for couple of time include one time as a gift. The quality of print out seems much better now. I think it's because of better quality of ink and it seems like it doesn't dry that often.
Also, graphics which black heavy usage appears more uniform without shades of gray. So I guess, even if its using more ink, the quality is more uniform and better
8 Price is Right
I am getting 20 at least with my co-workers and friends.
9 too pricey
I'll give it one more star, if the price drops by couple of hundred thousand dollars.
But then the printers are so cheap (and you are not paying sales tax on this ink) that it may not be a bad deal at all
10 Great Ink
This is the same ink that the Treasury department uses. It's great stuff. Worth every penny.
11 Niiiice, This is why I use Laser Printers!
$1,000,000 is outrageous!
I will use carbon copies instead.
12 Wonderful Ink - only no shipping
At first, I was hesitant as to whether or not to buy it. But looking at all the reviews of other similar $1M dollar inks, I found out that, surprisingly, it had no competitors! No other company would sell ink of this high a quality! This ink was DEFINATELY worth my money...now the words I print look better than ever! I am definately coming back for more once I run out...

13 Give them the razor and make the money on the blades
Well Gilette had it right. The real money is in the ink!
14 OMG
Wouldn't have bought the printer if I know the ink is going to be so expensive. OTOH, I might just buy more printers, sell the ink and be a multi-millionare. Better than winning the lottery.
15 what you forget
you have to remember that this cartridge will print
999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,99
9,999,003 1/2 pages
16 Best Ink Ever
I would have to give this 5 stars because, with this ink I was able to print over 40 pages of text. I know it sounds to good to be trus but yes folks over 40 pages. This wasn't regular text either, in was Font size 12 Script text ad here is the sinker, it was BOLD type not regular text
17 Great Buy!
I would give 5 stars, but there was no free shipping for this baby :P
18 Adequate, I suppose
At this price, I wish the cartridge would last a little longer. OTOH, the ink is REALLY a dark black. :-)
Long live AnandTech!
19 Worth the price!
At $1,000,000.00, this ink is a steal! My photos have never looked so nice, and I've spent up to $50,000,000.00 on ink so that I don't have to get them professionally developed (too expensive to have the pros do it).
