The main difference in consumables (ink cartridges) is that printers that have larger ink capacity cartridges usually have lower cost (per ML or OZ). I definitely would NOT purchase another printer should I be confronted with your described situation. If you should buy another printer Brand (or Model) my opinion is that you will be experiencing higher ink costs (than in previous years) which ALL seems to have increased. My opinion is that if you check ink pricing for various other printers that ink costs (like almost everything) has increased to the point of being an issue for consumers. $15+ for 15ml carts for long-issued printers is way too much.

Joe R had a ton of great videos on how to do that. I use such cheaper inks in my office printers that take pigment ink.Īs Vernon eluded to, one nice thing about the older carts is that they reset easily if you want to try refilling OEM carts. I also like some of the other third-party sellers like. If profiling is important, may be a good choice. Look into expired OEM carts on eBay or remanufactured OEM carts form LD Products. I like Ross's videos on YouTube and those from (He sounds a lot like Ross!) Both gentleman have a lot of great tips about these printers. I am not selling prints and not worried about less than perfect rendition.

If you buy inks from Ross Hardie, he will make sophisticated profiles for free (6 charts are involved). I run vintage pigment printers myself (2200 and R2400) and use a combination of old OEM carts bought on eBay, remanufactured OEM carts and I have bulk ink also. I (and our Families) have many pictures that were printed since selecting the inks form Inkjetcarts and "thankfully" there is NO fading or change in colors. I am NOT attempting to sway you toward NON Epson inks and refilling, instead I am discussing my solution to the continual increase in printer MFGR ink Cartridges. The only reason for changing cartridges types is for LESS time for the refilling process. I changed over a year ago to using non Epson refillable (auto resetting type) cartridges and of course continued to use the same type inks for refilling these different type cartridges. The first few years, I used the empty Epson cartridges and refilled these with the non OEM ink and this has resulted in excellent results and I have observed NO difference in the non OEM inks as compared to the Epson OEM inks. They also have VERY knowledgeable Tech Support (Ross Hardy). I chose the Pigment inks sold by Inkjetcarts. I retired the C80 and the 2200 finally developed non repairable issues after 13 years of service. However, a few years ago, (around 8 years) I chose to research non OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) ink types (for me - non Epson) to select a type (for each of my 5 Epson printers) (C80, 2200, three R800, and 3880) that is as close as possible to the Epson Printer Mfgr. Depending on your printing volumes, that could make a difference.

Your main emphasis relates to increased ink cartridge costs for your printer. Your comments indicate the current printer produces good printed photos. I will offer my opinion although it may or may not be beneficial for you. I feel that paying approximately $140.00 to refill my printer is somewhat excessive. Since this printer is quite old, would it be worth my while to look into newer printers with (perhaps) lower supply costs but equal quality? Or am I wasting my time. They are now charging $19.69 per cartridge, an increase of 38% over their discounted prices. I had not seen any promotional ink offers from Epson since August of 2016. per cartridge after taking advantage of one of their regular 15% discount promotions. However, after nearly depleting my supply of ink cartridges which I purchased early in 2016, I noticed that prices for replacement cartridges had increased dramatically. I have owned the R1900 for many years and am generally very pleased with the prints it produces.
