Re: Epson K3 Magenta ink

2010-04-05 by faeofavalon

I haven't had any magenta issues with my 2400 and I also got magenta carts within the last month....I would doubt any new color carts would replace ones in older models....just based on Epson's track record.

Did you buy them directly from Epson or somewhere else?

Up until today, I have been able to achieve very neutral blacks with the K3 inks and ABW on my 2400, but know, it looks like I have a huge amount of work to do to figure out new settings to use to get back to neutral blacks.
