    Question about Epson Stylus Pro 3880 ink usage

    Thanks Jtoolman! I never even knew of the OCP inks. I'll definitely look into their inks, the price is really good! :-)

    Question about Epson Stylus Pro 3880 ink usage

    How do I know if the cheap ink is actually bad? I'm not very knowledgeable about printing, so I probably won't be able to know the difference until I actually print with different inks and then compare. For example, here are two sellers: Set of 9 colors 500ml each color Price: $660.00 USD...

    Question about Epson Stylus Pro 3880 ink usage

    Thanks everyone for your replies. Even with the refillable ink it is still pricey. Well, c'est la vie, there's not much we can do, unless to develop our own ink formula! :-D

    Question about Epson Stylus Pro 3880 ink usage

    Does anyone know which color is being used the fastest when printing with Epson Stylus Pro 3880 printer? I purchased the ink system from the Inkrepublic and I'm just wondering how soon I'd have to reorder the ink, and whether I could just buy one or two colors that are used the most. Also, can...

    Epson 3880 continuous ink system - need help!

    Thanks so much Pharmacist, the review is very helpful! I don't mind large size cartridges sticking out, and I'll remove the lid with a screwdriver. I didn't want those carts that need to be refilled with a syringe, it's such a hassle. And I definitely don't want the ink to leak, so I want a...

    Epson 3880 continuous ink system - need help!

    I'm not sure if I need to keep them. This is what I'm trying to find out right now. I emailed the Inkrepublic and let's see what they say. I just purchased this printer from Amazon this morning. It would be nice if I could lower the price by selling the original carts, but if I can't, so be it...

    Epson 3880 continuous ink system - need help!

    Thanks Jtoolman! I looked it up, and the Inkrepublic does have the resettable maintenance cart for 3880 included in the set. I just wasn't sure if this maintenance cart was the waste ink tank or something totally different.

    Epson 3880 continuous ink system - need help!

    I just found some interesting information on the internet regarding the warranty: Q: Will using your continuous ink system void my printer warranty? A: No it will not void your warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act states: a company cannot sell a product under the pretense that...

    Epson 3880 continuous ink system - need help!

    Websnail, I think it's a good option to just change the pads in the tank. I probably could use something that absorbs liquid well. Now I need to see if I can find an auto reset chip for it.

    Epson 3880 continuous ink system - need help!

    Thanks Jtoolman for your response! Sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable about printers, that's why I said CIS instead of refillable carts. To me they all look the same! :D My printer is a dinosaur R300 and I never used the 3880, just read good reviews about it and thought it might be good for me...

    Epson 3880 continuous ink system - need help!

    Hi, I'm new on the board. I have a few questions about the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 Color Inkjet Printer and the 3880 i-Refill System with IRK4-nano Ink from the Inkrepublic. 1. I'm going to buy an Epson 3880 printer and get an extended 3-year warranty with it. Will the warranty be voided if I use...
