Epson Inks deliver Superior Value that can last up to 100 years
Prestigious 3rd party study by Torrey Pines Research Inc. and Wilhelm Imaging Research confirms that genuine Epson inks achieves high marks in superior image quality, longer print life and unbeatable value vs. third party inks
There's been a lot written about inks---specifically, articles and independent studies on the proliferation of third party or “compatible inks” in the market. However, the bottom-line is that many people may be sacrificing much more when it comes to quality, performance, durability and value. In independent studies done by prestigious research organization Torrey Pines Research Inc. and recognized print permanence authority Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc., Epson ink cartridges have achieved high marks in terms of superior image quality, longer print life, greater reliability and unbeatable value versus third party ink inks, locally known as non-genuine, “compatibles” and continuous color-ink systems (CIS).
SUPERIOR PRINT QUALITY IMAGES AS VIVID AS YOUR MEMORIES
Epson ink cartridges are engineered to deliver stable, long-lasting, photographic quality. Epson inks are the highest quality inks you can put in an Epson printer. Years of research and development have gone into its formulation. The results are inks designed specifically to work with your printer hardware and to deliver superior print quality that cannot be matched by non-genuine, “compatibles” and continuous color-ink systems (CIS).
LONGER PRINT LIFE FOR PRINTS THAT ARE WATER-RESISTANT
Permanence, or how long a displayed print will last before noticeable fading, is where non-genuine, “compatibles” and continuous color-ink systems (CIS) really pale in comparison to Epson inks. In a recent study, Henry Wilhelm, a leading authority on photo longevity, projected Epson’s DURABRite inks resists fading up to six times than the leading competitor on plain paper, plus prints on photo paper lasts up to 100 years[1], so each print is sure to be cherished for years to come. Long-lasting prints delivered by Epson DURABrite Inks are also water-, smudge- and ozone-resistant on all supported papers, whether plain, matte or glossy. These additional Epson genuine ink benefits provide an ideal solution for printing everyday text and image documents. Photos resist damage related to high levels of humidity, moisture and water spills on Epson photo papers.
GREATER RELIABILITY
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 print head clogs that may occur. With Epson printers, third party inks (non-genuine, “compatibles” and continuous color-ink systems (CIS)) can clog the print head 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[2]. That adds up to considerable savings in time.
UNBEATABLE VALUE
Epson delivers more prints per ink cartridge. Torrey Pines Research[3] stated Epson inks "consistently outperformed third party ink brands" when it came to the number of prints per cartridge. The study showed that Epson inks can produce up to 114 more pages per black ink cartridge and 19 more pages per color cartridge than the tested third party brands.
For Filipinos, Epson has made its ink technologies that produces water-, smudge- and fade-resistant prints even more affordable with the DURABrite InkDividual Cartridges priced as low as P295 for Economy inks.
DON’T TAKE RISKS AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY WITH NON-GENUINE INKS
Any lengthened use of non-genuine, “compatibles” and continuous color-ink systems (CIS) may damage your printer. The warranty is also automatically void from the damage caused from the usage of non-genuine inks. But not only do genuine Epson inks provide valuable quality; it also prolongs the life of any Epson printer. These independent researches do not only prove that "you get what you pay for," but with genuine Epson inks, you get substantially more value that lasts for years to come.
All these independent research data came to the same well documented conclusion: Epson inks produce superior image quality, longer print life, greater reliability and unbeatable value versus third party inks (non-genuine, “compatibles” and continuous color-ink systems (CIS)).
[1] Ink fade resistance ratings based on accelerated testing of prints, on specialty media, displayed in a glass frame in indoor display conditions; claim that documents resist fading up to six times longer is based on accelerated testing of unframed color prints on plain paper in indoor display conditions. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, temperature, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee the longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or UV filter or properly store them. See www.wilhelm-research.com for the latest information.
