I use this ink in my Epson 3800 printer. Love the stuff as this ink cartridge along with the others produce vibrant, realistic colors. The UltraChrome K3 really lives up to the high standards Epson is known for in the print industry.

Plenty of Pros and No Cons, because it's the best ink on earth!

The shipping was free, but also painfully slow. I was in the middle of a project, and had to wait 3 days before it even shipped. By the time it got here, I had ordered refillable cartridges from [*], refilled, finished my project.All the epson inks are overpriced. Credit to B&H, they have the cheapest around (as usual).I would look into refilling your own if you use a lot of ink, unless you are rich.

    Comments about Epson UltraChrome K3, Light Light Black Ink Cartridge (80ml):

    Use it in my Epson 3880 printer and it works well every time. Although each cartridge seems expensive, it really isn't, because each cartridge holds 80 ml of ink. Consequently, the printer can churn out a lot of prints before the cartridge runs dry, which is quite unlike smaller, nonprofessional cartridges, which go very fast.

                  I always buy Epson brand products for my Epson printers, and this ink cartridge has never failed me. I've used and Epson 3800 printer for many years, and the Light Light Black Ink delivers beautiful prints on almost any decent quality paper, and it lasts quite a long time. It's definitely worth the money.

                    Easy cartridges. Color is true to the black and white photo for perfect gradations. Some of the best black and white I have seen from an inject printer. Good value over smaller cartridges but moderately expensive per mil.

                      This ink has produced exquisite results when used on Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper. The cartridge is not cheep however I have been amazed at how long it has lasted.

                        Comments about Epson UltraChrome K3, Light Light Black Ink Cartridge (80ml):

                        I have a need to produce multiple images for the numerous copies of my fashion photography portfolios. I rely heavily on my use of shadow in my photographs. The UltraChrome K3 Light Light Black ink cartridge is amazingly effective, in combination with the other Black cartridges in producing lush, textural tonal detail to the shadow areas of my photographs. I could not be happier with the stability of the ink on the paper helping to create long lasting images. This is a product I would highly recommend. Though the cartridges are a little pricey, B&H offers them at more affordable rates than many other retailers. And you can't complain about price considering the quality and the longevity of the cartridge, and the images it helps produce.

                        Truth be told, I haven't used the ink yet, but the key here is the excellent experience with B&H. As is invariably the case, the item was well packaged, sent on time, and met my very high expectations.
                        As it is written, I'll be back!

                          My father is a professional photographer. This ink, paired with a great printer, creates stunning professional grade photograph prints.
