FACTS ON GENUINE INK

Superior Image Quality

For prints as vivid as your memories.

designed to work specifically with your printer hardware,
and to deliver stable, long-lasting, photographic quality
– quality that cannot be matched by non-genuine inks.

Longer Print Life

For brilliant prints that last and last.

how long a print will last before noticeable fading when
it‘s on display and exposed to light, is where non­genuine inks really pale in comparison to Epson’s inks.
In a recent study, Henry Wilhelm, a leading authority
on photo longevity, projected Epson inks to last for up
to 92 years when used with Epson paper.

Greater Reliability

Because we value your time as much as you do.

ink jet printers provide print-head nozzle cleaning cycles
to ensure reliable ink flow. Ink is used in these cleaning
cycles. According to a study conducted by Torrey Pines
Research, non-genuine inks require up to 25 times more
user-initiated cleaning cycles than Epson ink cartridges

ink cartridge and 19 more pages per colour cartridge
Epson ink prints up to 30% more than non-genuine ink.

display your prints. Factors, other
than light, such as ozone,
temperature and humility can affect
the print life.
