Quality of carbon ink superior?

2010-03-01 by siiaam

Hello,

how do carbon inks compare to Epson's K3 inks in terms of quality. I am fully aware that carbon has a far better longevity than dye. But apart from that is there a real benefit over OEM ink? While I am reading that the greyscale is longer and smoother which can be seen in the print others disagree... Unfortunately I can't do any side by side comparisons. Hence, I'd love to hear some thoughts of the experienced users here.
I like cotton papers and color printing is not important to me...

Has somebody tried the piezography inks with refill cartridges for the Epson 3800? If so, are there any complaints?

Thanks.

Stephan
