Epson genuine ink
A modern printer fires out up to 30,000 droplets of ink per second. The ink dries within a fraction of a second so that it doesn’t smudge on the paper. During this short drying time, the ink must be mixed to the right colour. All the shades of colour in a holiday snap and every shadow in an atmospheric landscape photo must be precisely mixed by the printer from three basic colours – cyan, magenta and yellow, and placed onto the paper accurately to a fraction of a millimetre. These high demands – especially on the print head – explain how exact the interaction between the printer and the ink needs to meet our quality standards.

This is how we avoid impurities from dust and dirt, as even the smallest particles could damage the highly sensitive print head. Its apparent that what you save in money with third party inks, you sacrifice in quality. Because Epson inks are developed for use with Epson papers and printers, they optimize quality and print performance. Nothing else comes close. |
Epson inks are the highest quality inks you can put in an Epson printer. Years of research and development have gone into its formulation. The results are inks designed specifically to work with your printer hardware and deliver stable, long lasting, photographic quality – quality that can not be matched by third party inks.
