epson is the only one
if you are printing photos Epson is the only ink to use. fade resist, light resist, true colors. Use any other ink and it shows you don't really know about permanance.

Price Is Competative
The ink cartridges are great and the price is competative. All of these type of ink cartridges are pricey though.

Comments about Epson Vivid Light Magenta UltraChrome K3 Ink Cartridge (Code 96):
The problem with inks for my Epson R2880 printer is that they RUN-OUT TOO QUICKLY!
Either the configuration by Epson is inferior or they should redesign their printer to accommodate LARGER (and less expensive) ink cartridges.
Printing with these Code 96 cartridges "seem" to be fine but there is not benchmark other than my own eyes to check as to whether one actually nedds a "vivid" magenta.

Comments about Epson Vivid Light Magenta UltraChrome K3 Ink Cartridge (Code 96):
Makes great prints. I use the 2880. Print mostly EPSON Ultra Premium presentation Matte and Ultra premium Luster. No 5 stars because I wish the cartridges held more ink, seem to burn up pretty quick, faster than I'd like anyway:) I keep at least 2 full extra sets on hand which runs about $200.

Comments about Epson Vivid Light Magenta UltraChrome K3 Ink Cartridge (Code 96):
I do gamour and portrait photography and use large prints. This Epson ink is superior quality and I love using it. Color and print quality are very important to me and these inks fit the bill just fine. The only neg thing I can say is they are too small and run out too quick.

The Epson r2880 does an exceptional job with color accuracy, in part because of this pro-level K3 ink. It can be expensive, but I found that B&H has the best price.
