Shopper : Will the ink dry up if not used regularly?LISA S : If you have the Epson R3000, my answer is probably yes. You need to run the printer at least once a month. Maybe mine's just glitchy, but I find the need to do a nozzle check and cleaning regularly. Even if you don't use it on a regular basis, it's good to do a print occasionally to keep the ink fresh.DENNIS J : Yes it will. The print head will become clogged.DAVID M : well if you let it set for a long time yes it will dry up but I do't let it last that long I like it and I us a lot of it now at $35.00 I do look around for a lower price,DaveMARK H : I only use my R 3000 about once every three months (that's how long it takes enough stuff to pile up to do a printing session) and have had no problems at allROBERT M : Any ink will settle and possibly clog overtime if not using your inkjet to regularly print.HAROLD K : I cannot give specifics as to in very long run if it will or will not; however, due to the irregularity in my printing, often my inks will go for weeks not being used and most often in the printer for a number of months before being completely used and I have never had a problem with any Epson inks drying up.
Shopper : How big is this cartridge?ROBERT T : Approximately 2" x 1-1/2" x 1/2"DAVID T : I believe it is 27 ml. I believe the cartridges shipped with the printer are 17 ml.RANDALL S : It contains about 30 mL of ink double the amount of ink in the cartridges for the Epson R2400 printer. PATRICK D : 2 1/2 by 2 1/16 by 7/8"SUE C : It's the normal size cartridge that fits the printer (about 2"x2.5" - a guess). I don't know how much ink it holds because the package doesn't say. I'm not sure what information you want!JOHN K : Approximately (in inches) 1.82 x 2.68 x 0.92MICHAEL L : It is 25.9 ml, which is twice the size of cartridges for other Epson printers.MARK P : It's just the right size to fit the printer! :) Actually it's 25.9mlJANET R : I don't really understand this question - the cartridge is designed to fit into a specific space in the Epson r3000 printer..... If the question is whether it holds a certain amount of ink or, how long does the ink last, that question is determined by how the printer is used ...... B&W text, 5x7 color prints , 13x17 color prints etc..... The answer to that is on the printer (Epson r3000) web site ...
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JOHN N : I bought this for my Epson Stylus 3000 Photo printerGEORGE P : Excellent productMICHAEL S : I needed this colorMIKE R : I chose them all because I always use them and they are fantasticTHOMAS G : Trusted InksALAN G : Excellent quality ink for my R3000 printer.SCOTT W : it's the best ink at a good price...!

Terrible customer service

I ordered black epson ink in January because I knew I would be running out soon. Well today I ran out of the black ink and I opened the new ink and tried to put it in my Epson printer, and it wouldn't go in, it did not fit, so I looked at it, and sure enough, little things in the back are not the proper fitting for my printer, the sales receipt. Apparently Epson makes another 157 LLK black ink for probably another machine. I don't know but I did call today. The man hung up on me. He would not let me talk to a manager and then he called me back and asked me if I opened it and I said yes I told you I tried to make it fit today and it wouldn't fit and he just told me it's not returnable. And I'm like what? And then and he already hung up and I was still talking. This is very very bad service that adorama is having I'm 69 years old. Don't need to sit here and wonder why Epson made two ink cartridges with the same look and the same number on it I should not have to pay. Taken advantage of.

Professional Quality Ink

My printer is an Epson R3000, and I always use Epson ink. I have been told many times that the photos produced using this ink & printer combination rival the quality of professional printing companies. Whether color or monotone, images come out crisp and clean. When they don't, the fault rests with the photographer (me). I also love the fact that images produced with these Epson inks last for a very long time.

The ink is great, as expected. Of course it's too expensive but Adorama's prices are as good as it gets. I just wish my printer didn't waste so much. Oh well, what are you gonna do?
