The Epson 87 Matte Black Ink Cartridge for Epson Stylus Photo R1900 Printers – prints digital photos that look and feel like traditional color lab prints. This quick-dry, ultra-fine ink provides vivid high-image quality output with minimum dot gain.
When the most vivid, brilliant colors and true deep blacks are critical to a photograph or proof, Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 inks are a logical choice. Epson photographic dye delivers a print with unparalleled color, density, and clarity. This ink is a favorite among commercial photographers, prepress proofing, and design professionals.

I switched to R1900 from Epson 2100 (Epson 2200 in US). Some would say it was as a step backward, but it was not. Yes 1900 does not give such nice matt on black and white prints, but in exchange it offers very realistic and fidel colours plus nice halftones. It is as good as my old Epson 1200 as far as the colours are concerned but is much better in halftones. The gloss is nice, but gloss cartridge empties very quickly. In general the cardridges are more expensive than for 2200 (I always was buying the 2200 cardridges for my 2100 printer, much more than twice cheaper !). Also it seems to me that 1900 cartridges are lower capacity than 2200, although I did not find confirmation of it anywhere. Note: for best colours print from Epson proprietary software, I never obtrained as good colours from Photoshop printing despite of extensive fiddling with colour profiles and set-ups. Epson software pring equaly well Adobe and sRGB images !.

I’ve just got my refill ink for my Epson 1900 printer. The refills are a bit smaller than than they were for my previous printer, the Epson 1800. The quality of Epson products are excellent. The quality of the their inks is outstanding.

The 8 ink cartridges for this printer provide very life like and traditional film look for photos. Prints out photos very quickly and the ink dries fast. Beautiful prints for professional use. I would not use for everyday printing of documents, I use my older Epson R320 for these purposes.

I would rate it higher as it has great color. But Epson really needs to figure out how to get a higher volume.

I needed a few colors of the ink and was low on this size of the Ultra Premium Lustre paper. The price of the ink combo was better than anywhere else.
