The Epson 157 ink cartridge is exactly what I need for my Epson R3000 printer. They are original mfg at a best price.

Pink and inky. Exactly what I was looking for.

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. The color spectrum is beautiful and the fade resistance of the prints is extraordinary too.

I thought light black was gray, but maybe it’s just light black. It goes with the other colors and seems to blend in well to get various tones.

For me, this is the most commonly used ink out of the nine required for the Epson R3000. I always keep an extra on hand. Great for photos on Glossy paper.

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

What could be better than Vivid Light Magenta?

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.

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?
