I'm hoping the Espon 4000 inkjet users on the forum can comment on the following:
- What's your experience with the life of the ultrachrome inks once installed in the printer? I've heard recommendations that they should be used within 6 months. Have you seen any degradation or other effects of using inks after that period?
- Understanding that ink use will vary considerably based on the actual prints and paper used, what's a ballpark estimate on the number of prints which can be produced with a set of 110ml inks? Can it be generalized to something like, "100 16x20s". I'd be printing both color and B&W.
- And, If I'm printing B&W, will I only be using the "black" inks, or are the other inks used in B&W production?
The background is that I'd like the ability to produce my own 16x20 prints, but I'm concerned about the ongoing ink costs, especially if I wouldn't use a set before it would "expire" in the printer.
Thanks in advance,
