Epson Prices Ink ?
Apr 9, 2015 10:27:46 #
I recently purchased an Epson Stylus R2000 to replace the 1900 that went bad. Ink for the 1900 was about $15 per cartridge. I checked the prices for the 2000 yesterday and the price was about $22. That's a 40% increase. Anyone have a comment?

For my Epson printer, the Stylus Photo 2880, Atlex.com is the cheapest Epson ink (not third party) I have found.

I have renewed my ancient Epsom printer after 4 yrs of continued use (problem with rollers pulling paper through). A while ago I purchased an Epsom XP-305.& with prior experience I use compatible inks at about 1/6 of the price of Epsom genuine. When I purchased the XP I was also given a 4 pack of compatibles with the advice of saving the genuine ink to put in the printer if it malfunctioned within the guarantee period, (Im well past that now}. I have a few compatible ink prints in my drawing room & in spite comments, the colours are still as vibrant. The other advice given to me, was ignore the warning pop ups re the dangers to your printer using compatibles & also stay away from the Epsom down loads. Already the saving on inks would afford me to have renewed the XP twice.
Re the above ramblings & at the expense of being shot down in flames I must say I always respect advice of the more knowledgeable UH members, so its your choice.

I replaced my 2 R1800s with an R2000. The ink carts for the R2000 hold more ink. I think it's 21ml vs 13ml. I do get considerably more prints from a set of R2000 inks than I did with the R1800s.

For inks, I usually check www.epson.com. They often have sales during which all inks are 15 % off and include free shipping. I have found the Epson Web site to be the best place, overall, to buy inks and toner for my Epson printers. (Yes, I have an ancient Epson color laser printer which still works perfectly.)

Usually, when I buy ink from Epsom, the very next day after I have made my purchase they send me an email offering me 15% off inks to "stock up". I usually will buy the discounted inks.

Atlex is a great place for printers, ink, paper and other stuff at very reasonable prices; however, on occasion, I've found Epson ink even cheaper at Adorama.

Cut my cost about 90 percent. Have called them twice and I have always had fantastic service and response.

Please quote what fail you are in reference to.

My R1800s both failed with unresolvable communication errors. Would not maintain connection / printing with either USB or Firewire, on three different computers.

They have a captive market, unless you want to hope that alternate ink works as well. Do those cartridges you compared have the same amount of ink?
