The Cone inks are supposed to be clones of the Epson K3 inks that 
were used in the 2400.  If they are good quality clones (I have not 
tested them), one would expect that they would perform better than 
the Epson K2 inks used in the 2200.

I have not had a chance to test the Cone inks. I have been able to 
find genuine Epson K3 inks for the same price or less than the Cone 
Color inks. The Epson inks performance is quite well known, with 
documented longevity testing on a wide vaeiety of papers, etc.  

You can load the Epson K3 inks in an older K2 machine - 2200, 7600, 
etc.  - just as easily as you can load the Cone inks.

Best,
Michael
