Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the difference between the Epson T324 ink cartridge and Epson cartridge for their R800/1800? It appears they both use the same ink (HG2) in identical capacity (14ml) cartridges, yet one costs more than the other. What gives?

A: The inks for the R800/1800 are 13ml and they are not described as HG2. The inks for the P400 are 14ml and UltraChrome HG2. The physical shape and size of the cartridge is different too so you cannot use the T324 ink in the R800 or R1800 printers.

Q: 2. what other printers take the same ink as epson stylus R2400?

A: If you mean 'cartridges' vs 'ink' then none, to my knowledge. I have had my Epson R2400 for almost ten years and as far as I have seen this printer/cartridge combination is unique. You can not use any other cartridge model in this printer and you can not use this printer's cartridges in any other printer.

Q: 3. How many full color 11x14 prints can I get from a set of Ink? I know this varies so ballpark is fine.

A: Unfortunately they do not specify a number of prints per ink cartridge because there are too many variables. For example, a color photo of a person on a dark background will use more ink than the same person with a white or light color background. Also the type of paper and your printer settings will affect the usage.

Q: 4. How much ink is in a Epson 96 ink cartridge? Ink for the new P800 is 96 ml. Just wanted some idea for comparison. Thanks

A: The consensus on the internet is 11 ml's. B&H won't let me send you a link in this response, but the website Printerville reviewed the R2880 and goes into quite a bit of detail about how many prints (and at what cost) one of those 11-ml cartridges will print. You can do the math yourself to see how the 96-ml version would compare. I am a photo hobbist who prints small number of prints with occasional big projects such as 30-50 prints for a school sports team. In four and one-half years, I have used 5 to 7 of those 11-ml cartridges for each color. And I have learned to run the printer at least once weekly--without fail-- to keep the print nozzles from drying out (I print the Epson test pattern so I know all colors have been used.) Hope this helps.

Q: 5. is this authentic brand?

A: Yes, this is a genuine Epson product.

Q: 6. Why no matter black (MK)?

A: We have two kits. For the Matte black option please see B&H # EPSCMBP400.

Q: 7. I count 7 cartridges when the add says eight?

A: The Gloss Optimiseur is a 2 pack ... Total 8 cartridges

Q: 8. What is the expiration date on the cartridges?

A: Unfortunately, we don't have access to the warehouse to check an item for information such as date of manufacture, expiration dates or serial numbers. B&H as policy will not ship outdated ink within 6 months of it's expiration date.

Q: 9. Are these genuine Epson ink cartridges?

A: Yes. This kit has everything but the matte black cartridge.

Q: 10. Approx how many 13x19 prints per cartridge?

A: It really depends on the image. Light Magenta is one of the ones I change the most. I'd say 75 13x19 with normal saturation and color balance. More saturation can be dramatically less - 40-50. But I do buy 2 for every yellow.
