I purchased this for my Epson 2400 printer. It is a great printer even though Epson doesn't make it anymore.

Epson EPSON T0... K3 ink cartridgs for my EPSON Stylus PHOTO R2400 are great in quality and easy to use. However, this is how EPSON makes money. All the ink cartridges run out of ink quickly, especially light cyan, light magenta, light black and light light black. I wonder if the cartridges are half full. It costs me a fortune to print the hundreds of images I print for my semi-pro photography business. Don't pay a premium price buying direct from EPSON but go through AMAZON to one of the reliable outlets such as ADORAMA or B&H to save $3 per cartridge. I have tried refilled cartridges but they leaked and didn't print. Nor did the (not to be named) company give me my hundred bucks back. Bulk ink systems exist but are usually rated 3* because you have to cut a hole in the printer to the feed the ink cable and they perform marginally. EPSON no longer sells a bulk ink system for the R2400 and I wonder when I will no longer be able to buy ink. Catcha 22! I love the printer and print quality (love EPSON paper too) but will not buy another EPSON printer unless it comes with a bulk ink supply system.

I have had my Epson 2400 printer for 4 years now. Still going strong, produces great pictures. Epson ink is very good. But just like any other inkjet printer. They are making quit a bit of money on the ink. A whole inkset for this printer is $100 at a discounted price. And in the years since it has been out and replaced by a newer updated unit. The price of the ink has not gone down. But what can you do. Once you buy the printer your stuck with buying their ink until you get a differnt printer.
