I need to know that I can depend on the quality of the ink- it represents my work as a professional photographer.

the photos I print with this ink and the epson R3000 are by far better than photos from any commercial printing company. A bit expensive, though

Despite the small cartridge size, the ink lasts longer than expected. Have found the expiration date can safely be disregarded.

I am a professional calligrapher and reproduce many of my designs for resale to customers. B&H offers the fine art paper that I purchase, but also a better than most price on Epson UltraChrome K3 inks. These inks give me vibrant colors that mimic the original artwork. I’m pleased with the product. One problem…as ink cartridges run low, sometimes the colors alter a bit. For instance, I just printed a 61 page book and went back to adjust and reprint a page in the front of the book. The blues then, were not a perfect match. I removed the two lowest ink colors and the color was back to where it was originally. As I understand it, these inks need to dry for 24 hours before they are framed or enclosed in a sleeve.

what can I say the Epson inks are great. I’ve used them on my R210 and 4880 and now on the new R3000. They are consistant from batch to batch, who can ask for more.

I have a new Epson 3000 Printer and I think the new printers are designed to use up the ink faster that’s where they make their money on selling ink. This printer has larger color cartridges 25 ml, but takes more ink for a 13×19 printer than my old Epson 1280.

Epson inks are expensive, but worth it. The colors resemble dye transfer prints in saturation and sharpness.

I’m 8 years into the inkjet photography experiment. I went back and printed some B&W prints from the wet dark room the other day, and it was a great reminder of how much time it takes using traditional chemical/silver methods to get a keeper. Epson inks are great.

We use this and the other inks for our student’s work prints as well as their exhibition pieces.

Ink for the Epson R3000 printer might be somewhat expensive but the photos print superbly with any of the 9 ink tanks.
