Are the extra high capacity cartridges "fatter" than the high capacity ones? I.e., is there a possibility of the extra high capacity not fitting?

I don't think so, the extra high capacity cartridges is all I have ever used, not even sure if they make a standard size or not. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy.

I always buy the extra Hi Capacity and they fit perfectly in my Epson Workhorse 645.
1351676
NO, they are the same size. The high capacity means there is more ink inside. I'm not sure they even make regular capacity, or at least I don't remember ever seeing one.
1351677
Don't remember if that is my answer or someone else's. But, I agree except for the fact I have never seen a 126 cartridge in black. I have always used the XL size and it's working out fine. Enjoy!

The Epson extra high capacity black cartridges are fatter then the the colors but the spot where the black goes is made for either the regular 126 size or the 127 extra high capacity cartridge.

I don't believe there is any physical difference (other than weight) - our office has a variety of printers and, these specifically, as well as others all fit exactly the same

i cannot tell the difference in size of the cartridges only that they have more ink in them than the regular ones

Xl cartridges are bigger in capacity....so, yes, they are worth the price for double (my estimate) the ink.

I had the same problem the other day and I found it was my fault because I had pushed the cartridge in too far. When I pushed in into the slot very lightly just until it clicked it worked fine. The original cartridges were harder to push in than the compatibles...no problem since and they print fine.

Epson shows the 126 as the 'Extra Capacity' but compatible ink cart. It shows the 127's as the MAIN and 'Super Capacity' ink carts. Now the way these folks load up their carts I've gotten a ton of mileage from them before having to change them out - so these 126's could equal a factory-loaded OEM 127. Your mileage may vary and obviously you've gotta take a shot. At these prices though, it's worth it! Your series of printer has a larger slot for the 127's. Our smaller NX's can't handle the double-width of the black 127's. Apparently yours has some pop-up little plastic piece when you use what's considered a 'half-sized' ink cart since the 127's are what Epson calls the default carts. Good luck!

capacity of cartridge is all,xl is more ink. I would buy oem Kodak ink tho, I have never had any luck with aftermarket cartridges.

I only recently installed high capacity cartridges in my printer so I haven't had a chance to fully evaluate them. However this article may help. To quote the author "spend a little bit more upfront in order to gain long term savings... Yes, the price is higher, but so is the value." Here's the link:http://gapintelligence.com/blog/2012/05/10/high-capacity-inks-%E2%80%93-just-marketing-or-real-value/

Clearly states on package that the XL is equivalent to up to 2.5 times the regular cartridge. I think it's worth the difference. I always buy XL when available. Shop often and you'll find you can catch a deal where 1 XL is cheaper than 2 regulars too! More details than that can be found on back of package. Look in Walmart or something and you can read it. Can't find image of back or side shot on here.

Hi Penny, the XL on the ink cartridge model number or part number means that it is high capacity. Thanks, PCrush

Yes anything with an XL is larger, it is actually twice the size of the normal cartridge and very convenient.

I have not used any of those cartridges as of this time, and I certainly hope that I never have to look for an answer to the leaking ink problem that you have encountered. I wish you luck on your question, Patrick.

Both work just exactly the same, just the capacity is different, so choose based on your print volume

Yes ,that is the model that I have .Have used several of these cartridges,last longer than the smaller ones.
1530006
No, that is over exaggerated. I'd say when all cartridges are equal, it's more like 300 or so.

I'm sorry Robert I have long since used that cartridge and to tell you the truth it worked fine on my printer and that's the one it called for.I have since switched to another company for my cartridges.Sorry I couldn't be of help.

YES ..... I think they are the "smaller" ink cartridges and not the XL cartridges (that have more ink)
2185354
I'm not sure. I have had problems getting the cartridges loaded into my printer.CB
