Epson Claria Black Ink Cartridge (T078120)

• For Prints as Vivid as Your Memories
  Epson ink cartridges are engineered to deliver stable, long-lasting, photographic quality. A recent PC World magazine article said, "We encountered third-party inks that produced poor quality prints." The article showed that none of the third party ink cartridges tested were able to deliver the consistent quality of Epson ink cartridges for photo printing.
• For Brilliant Prints That Last and Last
  Permanence, or how long a displayed print will last before noticeable fading, is where third party ink cartridges really pale in comparison to Epson ink cartridges. In a recent study, Henry Wilhelm, a leading authority on photo longevity, projected Epson inks to last for up to 92 years, while third party inks printed on the same paper were projected to last no more than a year.
• Because We Value Your Time As Much As You Do
  Epson ink cartridges deliver reliable and optimal print performance because they are designed to work with Epson printers. All ink jet printers use user-initiated cleaning cycles to clear any printhead clogs that may occur. With Epson printers, third party inks can clog the printhead nozzles more frequently, leading to more cleaning cycles. According to a study conducted by Torrey Pines Research, Epson ink cartridges require up to 25 times fewer user-initiated cleaning cycles than third party ink cartridges. That adds up to considerable savings in time.
• More Prints Per Cartridge
  Torrey Pines Research stated that Epson ink cartridges "consistently outperformed third party ink brands" when it comes to the number of prints per cartridge. In fact, the study showed that the Epson ink cartridges produce up to 114 more pages per black ink cartridge and 19 more pages per color cartridge. The number of pages printed using Epson ink cartridges is up to 30% more than the third party ink cartridges. Bottom line - more prints, more value.
