Ink2image Bulk Ink Feed System for the Epson Photo R1900

The Ink2image professional bulk ink feed system for the Epson Photo R1900 provides ink savings in excess of 70% compared to using normal throw away cartridges. The system is the first of a new generation of professional bulk feed devices from Ink2image that features many new and innovative features to ensure reliable and trouble free printing on Epson Photo models. No cartridges are used on the system as these have been replaced with plug in dampers that accurately regulate the ink pressure at the print head to ensure reliable jet firing. These dampers also dramatically reduce air ingress into the system, a common problem with many other ink systems. Ink monitor chips are mounted on two chip bars that ensure accurate alignment with the printer chip reader contacts, and resetting of the chips to full is performed by simple switches. This allows resetting while printing as opposed to turning the printer off and then on, or lifting the cartridges out as on other systems. Industrial quality ink tubes are used to reduce ink evaporation during periods of non use, and in line ink filters are fitted to protect the print head. The system can be purchased empty, or with a set of 4oz ink bottles. Ink options for the R1900 include the i2i Absolute Match E9 pigment inks that are closely color matched to the original Epson inks and so can be used with existing profiles and color settings, or the new Lyson Cave Paint Photochrome R19 wide gamut pigment inks for a wider color gamut than the original inks. The costs saved by using Ink2image bulk ink are quite significant, particularly for a high volume user. The example below has been calculated for an average user with an Epson Photo R1900 who uses a set of original cartridges per week. We have used a street price of $ 11.95 for an Epson original cartridge. Yearly usage of original cartridges is 8 x 52 = 416. Spend is 416 x $ 11.95 = $ 4,971.20. Purchases an Ink2image bulk ink feed system for the Epson R1900 at $ 379.00 (includes 8 x 4 oz bottles of ink or 64 original cartridges worth), and then purchases 8 oz refill bottles of ink at $ 47.50 each (equivalent amount of ink as 16 original cartridges). Spend in the first year would be $ 379.00 on the system plus 22 x 8 oz refill bottles of ink @ $ 47.50 each, a total spend of $ 1,424.00. Cost saving $ 3,547.20.
