inkjet

Post by Apollo »

Hi All,

This has possibly been covered before but does any of you have any experience with compatible inkjet cartridges? I am looking at the photo quality Epson printers such as the R800 and R1800. In a nutshell, I am interested in jet tec and inkrite cartridges as opposed to the OEM cartridges. Two questions really. Is the print quality/colour rendition as good and is the colour life expectancy suitable as a resale proposition?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this will help
I have the Epson R2400 and use the Quill Inkflow system with pigmented ink.

I get my paper for Fotospeed and get a free ICC profile for these inks.

So much cheaper and consistent. time after time

We don't use compatible cartridges, but have an ink flow system with pigments in our R1900. It works well most of the time, but can be a bit fiddly to reset when the printer is indicating that the ink level is low.

The print quality is excellent though.
