Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Individual CMY cartridges allow per-color replacement, reducing ink waste versus tri-color single-cartridge designs.
- Pigment-based DURABrite Ultra formula provides measurable water and smudge resistance on plain paper — not just coated stock.
- Broad compatibility across eight WorkForce printer models reduces SKU confusion for multi-printer environments.
- Performs on both plain and glossy photo paper without reformulation or driver changes.
- Standard capacity sizing keeps per-cartridge cost predictable for moderate-volume users.
👎 Cons
- Black ink cartridge is not included, requiring a separate purchase to complete a full CMYK replacement set.
- Standard capacity yields are modest — high-volume print environments will burn through these quickly and may need XL variants.
- Pigment inks require more frequent printhead cleaning cycles than dye-based inks if the printer sits idle for extended periods.
- No chip-reset compatibility with third-party refill systems, limiting cost-reduction options for power users.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Epson printers are compatible with the T252520-S combo pack?
This pack works with the WorkForce WF-3620, WF-3640, WF-7110, WF-7210, WF-7610, WF-7620, WF-7710, and WF-7720. It is not cross-compatible with other Epson ink lines — the T252 cartridge series is specific to these WorkForce models.
Does the combo pack include black ink?
No. The T252520-S includes only the three color cartridges — cyan, magenta, and yellow. Black ink (T252120-S) is sold separately, which is by design: individual cartridge replacement means you only buy what you actually deplete.
How does DURABrite Ultra differ from standard dye-based inks?
DURABrite Ultra is a pigment-based ink, which means the colorant particles sit on top of the paper rather than soaking in. This gives it measurably better water and smudge resistance than dye inks, and better longevity on plain paper — critical for documents that will be handled, filed, or mailed.
Will these cartridges work on glossy photo paper?
Yes. Epson rates DURABrite Ultra for both plain and glossy photo paper, producing highly saturated output on coated surfaces without the bleeding or wicking you'd see with dye inks on uncoated stock.
What happens if I use third-party ink in a compatible WorkForce printer?
Epson explicitly states that non-genuine cartridges can cause printer damage not covered under warranty. Beyond the warranty risk, third-party pigment formulations can clog the micro-piezo print heads in WorkForce models — a repair that often costs more than several sets of OEM cartridges.
