Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this ink work with an Epson 7800 Stylus Pro ?

A: No, the Epson UltraChrome K3 Matte Black Ink Cartridge (220 ml) is not the correct ink for the Epson Stylus Pro 7800. That printer can use Epson T612800 and T611800 Matte Black ink, which unfortunately we do not currently carry.

Q: 2. When buying a copy machine, sales people will tell you roughly how many A4 copies each cartridge can produce, say from 800 to 1000 pages. I do not expect an accurate answer but would like to get a ballpark number about each Epson ink cartridge, or a set of 10 cartridges...otherwise how I make decision if I should per-order the upcoming 900? I am just talking about getting GENERAL ideas.

A: Copy Machines do mostly text & the amount of pages they tell you are based on 4% or 5% per page which is approx. 10-12 lines of regular size text. Once you have heavier print or graphics or if you print a solid black page it's like printing 25 pages. By printing photos on inkjet printers the case is much different pending on the quality & density of the print & amount of color. If the background is white or even light it uses less & there is no way to give an estimate. What you can do is compare the price of the size of the cartridge & see what will be cheaper per ml. Here for the Epson P900 you get 50ml for $42 & for the Epson P700 you get 25ml for $38. Bottom line is these are professional high quality printers & the outcome of the prints pay off by far.

Q: 3. My Epson 3800 uses the T5808 MATTE BLACK INK. Does Epson no longer offer cartridges for the 3800?

A: This listing for the Epson UltraChrome K3 Matte Black Ink Cartridge (80 ml) is the T5808 matte black ink that would work with your Epson 3800.

Q: 4. Is there any way I can print without this ink? I never use it and now my printer demands replacement without warning.

Q: 5. What is the difference between the 'old' T850 and the 'new' T850xxxN inks?

A: The Epson T85080N UltraChrome HD Matte Black Ink Cartridge is part of a new series of inks that allow for better efficiency, improved black density, and faster speed .

Q: 6. how many square footage of image can each ink cartridge cover?

A: There is no clear cut answer for this question, even Epson can't give you a definite answer. The reason is that it all depends on the density of the image & how much of each color is on the print. In general these 50ml inks are much larger & better cost per print compared to the cheaper smaller printers. Here is the thing, if your shots are great & you know how to utilize the printer the value of the prints will pay off by far.

Q: 7. Can these 50 ml cartridges fit on the new Epson SureColor S700?

A: We choose to use the Epson 786XL (High-Capacity) Black and Colored cartridges (rather than the standard cartridges) for our Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4630 printer. The higher cost per cartridge actually results in lower costs per print and involves less frequent changing of cartridges.

Q: 10. Can I use the 700ml epson ink cartridge in my Epson 9900? What are the advantages of using the large capacity?

A: Yes the Epson 9900 can use 150ml, 350ml or 700ml ink cartridges.The benefit of using the larger ink is for two reasons. One the ink can cost less per ml and you do not need to change out the ink as often compared to the smaller cartridges.
