Epson T5803 UltraChrome K3 Magenta Cartridge Ink

Great Cartridge
I purchased this cartridge for my Epson Stylus Pro 3800. Although my previous Magenta cartridge did not say it was out (3% remaining), my print quality was degrading and I figured a new cartridge would allow me to clean my printer head and resolve the issue. Upon installing this and performing a cleaning, my printer is going just like new again. I have only used genuine Epson cartridges in my printer and have found them to be of a very high quality with prints lasting so far for 10 years with no fading.They say that these cartridges should be replaced every 2 years whether or not you have emptied them. The cartridge I bought is stamped March 2018 meaning this cartridge has been sitting for 7 months already. However, upon using these cartridges, I have not found that anything happens to them after two years. If you look at my picture, the Cyan cartridge was manufactured in 2012 and is still producing colors just fine.

You pay up front for the expensive printer, but these tanks of ink last a very, very long tiem.
Huge difference between pay me now or pay me later. I’ve had a number of Epson “consumer” inkjets in both narrow and wide carriage formats. They had the multiple tanks, all very small and about $15 a tank. My photography work finally expanded to where I took the leap to the Professional grade Epson 3880 printer. At $1700, the up front investment was huge, but I can see where I am going to make it all up on ink costs. The ink tanks in the 3880 are huge.What I found with the other printers was that I’d pay a couple of hundred dollars for the printer, then pay through the nose in the rapid depletion of ink. Besides the wider carriage capability of the 3880, the inks last forever, or it seems. I kept track of what I’ve printed since getting it. I’ve printed 150 posters at 13×19, 75 large format prints at 17×22, almost 450 at 8×10, and during all that was experimenting with printing on metal, wood, and canvas. I bought this tank because I was finally down to about 25% on it and wanted a replacement ready to go. The rest of the tanks are no lower than 35%.Yeah, the tanks are $50 each, but when you consider how much longer they last than the ones in the consumer world, it really saves money in the long run. Amazon continues to be the best and most cost effective source for my Epson inks.

Epson T580500 ml UltraChrome K3 Ink Cartridge – Light Cyan
Not sure how one would rate ink for a printer. Came in what looks like an OEM package – and who really cares about the fancy boxes if they just go in the trash. Original Epson Ink – works well and prints nicely – reason for owning the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. What I do like about these cartridges (and printer) is that these are all high capacity ink cartridges which one is not replacing everyday – and who can at these prices. Last a good while. Much better than previous ink cartridges for Epson printers.As always, Amazon price was good, service was quick and reliable.

Epson Printer = Epson Ink
Epson ink is the only way to go for my Epson printer. I’ve had this printer for over 10 years and it still is running strong!

c’est une cartouche d’origine donc tout va pour le mieux dans son utilisation. Aucune mauvaise surprise d’encre sèche à l’ouverture ou autre.

Teures aber sehr gutes Original Produkt. Ich verwende für den R3880 nur die original Tinte und habe damit seit vielen Jahren keine Probleme und nur die besten Druckergebnisse. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Für den Epson Stylus Pro 3800 sind die originalen Epson Patronen immer die beste Wahl. Der Drucker liefert damit immer verlässlich excellente Ergebnisse und das schon seit einigen Jahren.
