Anyone having problems with "hazy" black areas? It's not in all the blacks just here and there.not sure what to do

I believe you must have the glossy blank ink cartridge installed, not the matte black. Downside of this printer is that you must change these cartridges back and forth to match what you want to print.

If you have the R2400 you shouldn't be looking for cheaper inks that aren't Epson. It's a waste of money if you bought this printer. It's for super quality print outs. Get a $100 printer for that kind of stuff. There is noreplacements for K3 inks.

Be very careful in picking a replacement ink. The cheap stuff on Ebay will work, but the color gamut is wildly different so color management will be a nightmare. I have been using the Lyson CavePaint in my 2200 for years with excellent results, it actually has a slightly wider gamut than the epson ink. I am waiting for their 2400 compatable ink and bulk feed system before purchasing my 2400, but I will trust their inks.

I just bought a used R2400 on eBay. For some reason it doesn't allow me to pick glossy paper (or anything besides matte options). Most of the options for paper are dimmed and unavailable for most color print sizes, and I can't even see an option for glossy paper. Can anyone help me open these printing options?

The printer comes with a set of ink. I have been buying 3rd party inks from Amazon for Epson printers ( including this one ) for the last 4-5 years for about 1/4th the price of Epson brand without any issues.

I am not sure. You could check on the Epson website and it should tell you what ink you need. If it does work I would suggest that you purchase the Epson 98 rather than 99. They are the same ink but the 98 holds a lot more ink and it is not very much higher in price.

I have printed less than fifty 8x10 and the black ink and the yellow ink were approaching warning levels. This is in about three months. I used the Ink Republic bulk ink system with my R-2400 for two years and loved it. I have switched to that system for the R-3000. The complete system costs less than half of the cost for replacing the Epson cartridges and lasts roughly 12-15 months at my print rate. Refill is a matter of squeezing ink from the large bottles into the smaller bottles that feed the cartridges.

you might want to check if the Epson workforce 2530 is the same as my Epson XP-200, because at east for my XP-200 they worked great, I guess as long as your Epson takes the same model of ink as mine, it should be OK,

I've had no problems with the cartridges that I've purchased. The printer identifies them as being non-genuine Epson brand. They have worked well for me and were a much better buy than I can get elsewhere. I will be reordering soon. Hope this helps.

I have an Epson Workforce 545. I ordered these cartridges for this machine and they've worked flawlessly. And for a fraction of the cost of OEM cartridges!

you just need to know the printer model number. I bought replacement ink on amazon as well. The best part of this printer is you can get generic ink-you don't have to buy the 'brother' brand which is common with other brands, so your ink costs will be much lower.

I use 3rd party ink in my Epson 730 and it works well. I tried the refillable ink cartridges and found they don't work as well but the ink I order is about 10 dollars as opposed to 60 or 70 for the epson ink. The ink I use prints really beautiful pictures.

Ink pig is a mild term. I printed about 12 pages of text and labeled 10 or so discs. The ink cartridges that came with the machine are practically empty. What's the deal? I have had an Epson R200 now for a couple of years and have only had to replace the cartridges once. I would hate to pay for high capacity cartridges and only get double output. I guess I need to take O'Shaughnessey's advice and gripe out Epson!

Epson has ink cartridges that are high capacity or standard capacity...of course the high capacity cost more. If you try an ink cartridge from a seller other than Epson, it will work, but do not get frustrated with an occasional "FIT" by the printer reporting that it does not recognize your ink...

Works great in my epson WF-3520. so far the ink has done the job. I belive it is with the money over spending the extra $$$$ on epson ink.

When I bought them over a year ago they were new factory originals, not remaufactured. I have since found a better deal at peachtree ink. I buy new not remanufactured cartridges for less than $25.00. They are not Epson, but they are instantly recognized as Epson and I promise you the quality is equal to Epson. I would suggest that you try them. I have been very pleased. I have turned several of my colleagues and they say the same thing now.

FIRST the disclaimer = I'm not a printer "expert", but my WF3540 is the "replacement" machine for the WF845 and according to the Epson specs they both use the same print ink system. So I would say Yes. In that you'e encountered "trouble" before maybe you should just buy one black as a test. I've been using remanufactured ink units in both my HP printers and now the Epson without trouble. Good luck !!

A quick search on eBay shows me thousands of generic ink cartridges. However, you use them at your own risk, and Epson will happily void their printer's warrenty if anything goes wrong. As their own cartridges are INSANELY expensive, and will dry up whether you use them or not, the deck is stacked against you.

I only purchase Epson cartridges that are labelled as authentic Epson ink cartridges. If the ink price is too good to be true it probably is not genuine and you are jeopardizing your expensive printer. A normal price is around 13 dollars per cartridge. I have had superb, problem free service with Amazon.
