I have an Epson R-380 High Definition Printer that use Claria inks. The printer ships with the 78 cartridges and provided excellent results but were short lived. Then I discovered the 77 high capacity cartridges on the Epson website and found that they held a full 60% more ink. Now these cartridges are available on Amazon and I would highly recommend them.
Certainly they are more expensive but you'll have the luxury of more ink and you'll end up spending less on inks in the long run. You'll still find that the yellow and light magenta seem to be used the most. The ability to replace 6 completely separate ink cartridges as you need them is a very nice thing. I have a professional HP 8700 and love the results but all the 7 inks are contained in 3 cartridges and when just one of the inks in the cartridges is empty, you have to replace the whole cartridge with some inks remaining that you must recycle or toss. You never know how much ink you're throwing away.
Please note that for some reason, the 76 and 77 multi packs don't include a black cartridge, which must be purchased separately. Amazon only offers the 78 version of the black cartridge but this is a relatively minor issue. Epson T077920 77 High Capacity Color Ink Cartridges Multi-Pack
I am a long time Epson user and currently have 3 different Epson printers. With this "multi-pak" it is nice not to have to pick one color at a time. I had read reviews that the printer was an ink hog but this ink seems to last a long time and I print alot of color. The colors are vibrant. Definitely recommend.
To print high quality pictures with Epson printers, you need to use Epson ink and Epson photo paper. I have an Epson Stylus R280 and these Epson 77 high capacity ink cartridges are the way to go. This was the best price around for these and they are Epson original ink. I will buy these from Amazon next time I need ink.
Arrived quickly from Amazon, but like a previous reviewer, one of the cartridges was not recognized/defective. Epson support will replace the individual cartridge but I will have to wait another week and the printer will not work until it arrives.
I recently switched from Canon printers (IP4000, IP3000 and IP9100) to Epson. My reason for switching was primarily tied to color fading of prints over time. The downside is that Epson ink is expensive but its colors are more vibrant and long lasting (time will tell on the latter). This Multi-Color Pak fit great with my needs and the pricing was good also. I would recommend this ink to anyone who is using an Epson R260 or R280. - Photo Printer - Rx680 - R380 - Inkjet Printer Ink'
