K3 is a great ink set. Curious if Epson will follow Canon’s lead with more grey tones for B&W.

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.

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?

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’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.

What could be better than Vivid Light Magenta?

I have noticed lately that when I order ink from B&H the expiration (shelf-life) dates are sometimes nearly expired. Epson lists these inks as having a 2 year shelf life (unopened.) When I get them in I’m noticing I may have 18 months left or only have as little as 6 months left on that expectancy. I’m hoping that does not become a problem for me.

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

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

Used in my Epson stylus photo r 3000.
Mackenzie Kub (verified owner) –
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.

The printer works well with these cartridges. Photos are beautiful, and the colors punch.

Epson inks and the Stylus Photo R3000 make prints suitable for use in museum displays.
