Ink2image Bulk Ink Feed Systems for the Epson Photo R260/R280/R380

The Ink2image bulk ink feed system for the Epson Photo R260, R280, and R380 features top fill and bottom feed pressure regulating reservoirs, laboratory quality feed tubing, spongeless print head adaptors, and auto reset ink level monitoring chips. Systems are available with or without a set of our renowned inks. Two ink options are available for the R series bulk ink feed systems. Firstly, the i2i Absolute Match E2 inks provide a close color match to the original Epson Claria inks, but with no claims of enhanced fade resistance - they have the archival life of a normal dye based ink. The E2 inks provide excellent color and an economical ink solution for users who are not concerned about the long term display life of their images. For longer archival life, the latest Lyson Fotonic XG inks are color matched to the Claria inks and have the same type of enhanced fade resistance. Using an Ink2image bulk ink feed system saves over 70% compared to using normal cartridges. For instance, a Fotonic bulk ink feed system for the Epson Photo R260/280/380 ships with 6 x 4 oz bottles of ink and costs $ 249.00. This is the same amount of ink as contained in over 8 original cartridge sets. The manufacturers stated retail price for an original cartridge is $ 12.34. This means that the system ships with the equivalent amount of ink as $ 592.32 worth of original cartridges, an immediate saving of $ 343.32. Ongoing savings are even higher. A 4 oz refill bottle of Fotonic XG ink costs $ 19.00 and contains the equivalent ink as over 8 original cartridges, or $ 98.72 worth. This makes the equivalent cost per cartridge to be $ 2.38 by using Lyson bulk ink, a saving of over 80%. The savings from using Lyson bulk ink can be quite considerable. A user who, for instance, consumed a set of normal cartridges per week on these printer models would spend around $ 3,850 per year on original cartridges. By using a bulk ink feed system the cost for the equivalent Fotonic bulk ink would be $ 741, a saving of $ 3,109 per year.
