PrintPayLess Brand Archival, Water and Fade Resistant Pigment Ink for Epson 79 (non-OEM) CIS/CISS or refillable cartridges using in Epson Printers: Photo 1400, R1400, Artisan 1430 Printers - 600 ml (20 oz.)

I will start by saying the seller has been great, fast shipping and a good price for bulk ink. I do a great deal of daily printing as a Graphics Designer and laser printing had been the best quality and cost. I recently found out about pigment ink and how inkjet printers are much better then when I first tried this printing format over 10 years ago. After much reading I decided to give it a try with the Epson 1400, yes a discontinued printer but from my reading a great workhorse. A few eBay and Craigslist search and I had my one, they are pretty easy to get a hold of. I would only use this system with CISS, for me this is the only way to print at a price that we could justify Inkjet printing.Epson 1400 printer uses dye ink which still fades and if wet will smear but PrintPayLess sells a pigment ink that will work with this printer and is a BIG improvement from the Epson standard Dye ink.I used this ink with a new CISS system. Set up was easy and the pigment ink works really well and once I did a few color and brightness adjustments the system was ready to print and this is where the fun begins. The first test print on plain copy paper, I took to my sink and submerged in water and no ink runs or fades. I was impressed! I will tell you that if your only printing a few sheets a week this is not for you. Most of the reading I have done on the internet says run something every three days. I can tell you that you should run a test print once every two days max. The color is good and I will update my review in a few weeks after I print a few hundred. Great system and with pigment ink your prints will last longer and are water resistant.

If you are just printing plain run of the mill printing these inks will work fine. But they are not the same ICC profile as the OEM and the colors are really off. I suspect this is bulk Chinese ink from different batches so they couldn't provide an ICC profile if they wished.

I regret buying this ink. Every image I print has a pink overcast on it. There are also lots of pink horizontal lines. I hope the seller read this and perhaps show me how to fix this pink overcast. I'll update once I find inks that closely resemble the original.

This is terrible ink. Colors look very faded on prints. Days after a printing the ink came off onto my fingers just from picking up one of the horrible prints. Bought because of positive reviews, but obviously the other reviewers must be hard of seeing.I do think that Stevie Wonder would be glad to see the results, that being said he'd be glad to see anything.

Its inkjet printer ink, you use it to refill ink cartridges. If you have empty ink cartridges you need refilled your in the right place.

Worked as expected and looks good on quality paper. Bought this along with new refillable ink cartridges... couldnt be happier considering new epson inks are 125 per set

it fade out on pictures works only on regular paper not good for photos. Don't buy it for printing photos .

This is the best way to go if you do mass printing!!! The refills are easy to use and last a long time!!!
