Introduction

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been putting the Epson 664 Multi-Pack (Model Number: 664 Multi-Pack) through its paces. This 4-colour multipack, boasting 70ml bottles, is marketed as compatible with several Epson EcoTank printers, including the L1300, L1455, L605, L486, and L121. My goal was to assess its print quality, longevity, and overall value.

Features

The 664 Multi-Pack is a straightforward offering. The packaging is clearly labeled, making it easy to identify the contents. Each 70ml bottle is individually sealed, ensuring the ink remains fresh. The vibrant colors immediately caught my attention, promising high-quality prints. The ease of installation was a significant plus point; the bottles slotted effortlessly into my EcoTank printer.

Performance

I tested the 664 Multi-Pack across various print types, from simple text documents to high-resolution photos. The text quality was consistently sharp and clear, with no noticeable smudging or bleeding. The photo prints were surprisingly vibrant, with accurate color reproduction. Even after printing numerous documents and photographs, the ink levels remained impressively high, demonstrating the promised high capacity. I experienced no clogging or printing issues throughout my testing period.

However, there were a few minor drawbacks. While the initial print quality was excellent, I did notice a slight decrease in vibrancy after extended use, particularly with photographs. This was not significant enough to warrant a major complaint, but it’s worth noting for users demanding absolute color consistency.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Easy to install, vibrant colors, high ink capacity, good value for money, sharp text prints, relatively long lasting.
• Cons: Slight decrease in vibrancy after extended use, packaging could be slightly more robust.

Final Verdict

Overall, the Epson 664 Multi-Pack provides excellent value for money. The high ink capacity significantly reduces the frequency of refills, and the print quality, while not perfect, is more than satisfactory for most users. The ease of installation is a huge bonus. Considering its cost-effectiveness and decent performance, I would confidently recommend the 664 Multi-Pack to users of compatible Epson EcoTank printers.
