EPSON 802 DURABrite Ultra Ink Combo Pack - Reliable Office Ink

In this review the EPSON 802 DURABrite Ultra Ink Standard Capacity Black & Color Cartridge Combo Pack is evaluated for small offices and home workspaces that need dependable, everyday printing. The bottom line: this combo pack is best for users of compatible WorkForce models who want smudge- and water-resistant prints and the convenience of replacing only the color or black cartridges as needed. It delivers consistent text and color for routine documents and photo proofs without requiring a high-end photo ink set.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Works with a range of WorkForce Pro series printers so users can purchase with confidence for supported models.
• DURABrite Ultra ink: Produces prints that resist smudging, fading and water for longer-lasting documents and informal photo prints.
• Combo convenience: Includes one cartridge each of black, cyan, magenta and yellow so all primary colors are available in a single purchase.
• Individual cartridges: Individual ink cartridges let users replace only the color that runs out, reducing waste and cost over time.
• Recycling support: Pack is designed to encourage recycling, helping divert used cartridges from landfill through manufacturer programs.

Who It's For

This ink combo is aimed at small business teams and home offices that use compatible WorkForce Pro and Pro EC models and need reliable daily printing. It suits users who prioritize durable documents for reports, invoices and classroom materials rather than high-gloss photographic prints.

Those who print very large volumes and need high-yield cartridges, or professional photographers seeking archival color accuracy, should consider higher-capacity or photo-specific inks instead. Casual users who value simple cartridge swaps and fewer surprises will appreciate the individual cartridge design.
