Epson engineered the 157 Vivid Magenta Ink Cartridge for the Epson R3000 Printer. Epson utilized their UltraChrome K3 technology to produce deeper, richer tones.
With fine art printing in the front of their minds, Epson developed vivid magenta to bring out the true colors of something as delicate as a flame. Epson’s advanced magenta pigments bring to life the browns and the reds of your prints. Control your prints with the Epson advanced tones.

I give four stars because of the price, otherwise the K3 technology is great. The high price is an issue for all things inkjet these days, especially the high-end printers such as my R3000.

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

I’m a professional artist and use the Epson R3000 to make prints of my paintings as well as my photographs. Best B & W prints to come out of this line of printers using their inks. But way too expensive for the amount of ink the machine drinks.

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.

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 been running only original Epson ink carts in my R3000 for hundreds of prints and have never had any problems, great stuff.

I really love my Epson Stylus Photo R 3000. There are a lot of ink that goes into the printer, but the quality is wonderful. B & H helps out with the great price they offer to us. I always get the shipment in a couple of days

Photo prints on Stylus printer. Colors are stunning. Good blending of tones. A little pricey.

Perfect Ink for the perfect printer

You really need to use Epson ink for advanced photo printers? What would the point be in risking an expensive printer with cheap knock off ink? This works well for matte and art papers, but the printer does waste a lot switching from matte to glossy

Ordered a set of inks for the Epson SP R3000 printer. When the Very Light Magenta ran out and the printer flagged the cartridge, I changed it to the new one. The printer would not recognize the VLMagenta cartridge. Had to use the web site for Epson, and they sent a replacement cartridge. Also called B+H to report the instance. Problem solved. I received excellent support and response from all involved. As for the inks, I can only echo the advice of all the photographers who print: Use the Manufacturer’s inks, and not third party inks. The quality of my prints is exceptional so I wouldn’t think of using any ink other than Epson. If you think about all the $ you have invested why introduce an ink that is not top grade?
