Ink2image Bulk Ink Feed System for the Epson Photo R2880

The Ink2image professional bulk ink feed system for the Epson Photo R2880 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 also runs all nine inks including Photo and Matte black, and switching blacks is simply a matter of swapping the black dampers, a procedute that takes only a few minutes. Systems can be purchased empty, or with a set of 4oz bottles of the new Lyson Cave Paint Photochrome R28 pigment inks that are color matched to the original Epson Ultrachrome K3 inks, and so can be used with existing profiles and color settings. 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 R2880 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 9 x 52 = 468. Spend is 468 x $ 11.95 = $ 5,592.60. Purchases an Ink2image bulk ink feed system for the Epson R1900 at $ 410.00 (includes 9 x 4 oz bottles of ink or 72 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 $ 410.00 on the system plus 25 x 8 oz refill bottles of ink @ $ 47.50 each, a total spend of $ 1,597.50. Cost saving $ 3,995.10.
