Epson engineered the 157 Light Black 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 light black to be of photo quality. The deepness of your shadows can set the mood for what your picture is saying. Create phenomenal monochrome prints with Epson’s three-level black technology. You will be sure to get the exact degree of black that your picture requires. Control your prints with the Epson advanced tones.

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

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.

What can I say. Genuine Epson made cartridge well with in the expiration date and at a discount. What more could an Epson R3000 owner want?

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

I have a Canon 6D converted for making infrared fine art images. I print them on my Epson 3000 printer, and I always buy genuine Epson ink so that I can achieve perfect results every time. It is not worth having my printer malfunction with cheap imitations. With B&H’s incredible low ink prices, I don’t have to skimp!

Epson R3000 colors are beautiful but they don’t last long enough and therefore cost a heck of a lot.

All the Epson K3 is perfect! A little expensive to replace the cartridges. I wished there was a continous ink supply system that was made BY Epson. Pricey.
