Usually I give 3 stars to Epson inks and especially to the ones for the R1900, because of the tiny size of the cartridges. For this particular purchase I go to 5 stars, because B+H surprised me with a four cartridge package instead of the expected two.

Great prints/small cartridge
I have an Epson R1900 printer and the prints are great. BUT the cartridges are too small. Epson should have made the cartridges larger.

I can't comment specifically on the quality of the gloss optimizer, but as far as the R1900 is concerned, I am very pleased with the quality of the prints. The colors are accurate and vibrant, and the images are crisp and clear. Great printer for the price.
