third party ink for epson 3880

Ok damatrix. For the reason about quality my very first option was buying 220ml oem cart and refilling my 80ml refil cart with it, probably the best and secure way.

I always care a lot about my other epsons machine, i like epson technology and i really think is one of the best if not The best.

But about the ink there is here a very big profitabilty for epson. Probably too much. A 10$ oem cart with 10 ml of ink = 1000$ /liter...wow, no?

But why epson sell 80$ a 220 ml cart and 50$ a 80ml if is the same k3 ink?...marketing.

The same ink can coast 'just' 390 $ per liter on a bigger cartridge.

Probably this is why exist third party ink. If epson would give a reasonable price for their ink, a lot of people would use only epson ink.

Bob: thanks a lot for the nice graphic about gamut of cone, show interesting diferences!

Peter: Thanks for your (bad) experience...really we need to care and just buy from the confiable ink suppliers...

I was using inkjetfly ink with my 1410, very good results, someone is it using their K3 equivalent?
