Epson engineered the 157 Matte 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 matte 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.

Pink and inky. Exactly what I was looking for.

The 157 series inks are outstanding for their intensity and fastness to UV fading.

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!

I use the genuine Epson ink for making fine art prints. the quality of the prints are excellent. I have experienced a couple of dysfunctional cartridges that were replaced free of charge. the ink is very expensive. there are substitutes for this ink but I don’t print in high volume so I don’t think they would work for me.I want trouble free printing.

Epson R3000 printer would not recognize this Epson 157 Vivid Light Magenta cartridge purchased Nov 2013 and attempted installation April 2014. Cartridge expiration date 2015. B&H advise they do not warranty past 30 days but agreed to ship a replacement cartridge. So, 5 stars for B&H, 1 star for Epson.

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.

I use it on my Epson stylus photo r3000 printer. Helps varies blue graduation. Color photos.

The Epson stylus colors are outstanding and rival the old dye transfer prints when used on the proper paper. The cartridges are, admittedly, expensive. But, you get great results.

As expected from Epson, working well. Good expiration date. But expensive when you consider wasted ink for priming

Lasts a long time.

Staff was helpful and this was the cheapest price I found for this ink which I use for art prints. I’ll definitely be coming back to B&H!

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

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

I can only echo the advice from photographers who print their own work, and that is to use the manufacturer’s inks. The Epson inks are simply the best. So far, I only use Ultra Premium Glossy and Luster papers with spectacular results. I purchased this because of a defective cartridge, but Epson also sent me a free replacement cartridge. Bravo Epson…
