After much research into the Epson R2400 & R1800, I got the 2400. I am absolutely impressed with the quality of pictures! It does a phenominal job. I have two other epson printers, one is the much older 800 which I took to work & am still using. The other is the R200 that I use for general printing & printing on my cd's & dvd's. I had a canon 9900 & I90 before. The epson is far superior to the canon. I liked the tech support at canon but I love the epson printers & have never had to use tech support. Yes, the ink is hard to find. It is a high end printer & your ordinary big box stores doesn't want to mess with it. I order online & save money that way. When I run out of one cartridge, I order 2 to replace it. The printer gives you plenty of warning so you don't run out. I am an amateur photographer & do lots of scrapbooking. I print all my own pictures with the Epson. It's not your ordinary printer but I don't want ordinary pictures. I haven't been disappointed yet. You just have to make sure you set the print settings for the media you are using.

First if you actually own this printer you will know that it can use 9 types of ink, BUT it can only use 8 at a time. So to Mr./Miss one star rating down there.... it only uses 8 inks at a time and you have to switch back and forth from matte/photo ink if you want to print on those two types of paper.
Next Continuous ink systems are just as expensive because in the end the hassle the can and will cause will ultimately cost you the consumer MONEY.
FINALLY choose a "compatible ink" if you want to. You will find that the quality is what you pay for.
If you want QUALITY archival prints, the stick with epson until someone makes something that is not only compatible but BETTER.

I only use these inks with my Epson r2400 and have never had any issues. Buying the set makes $$$$ sense.
