Epson T6039 cartucho gris claro XL (original)

I use these inks with an Epson Pro 4800 printer. The inks produce great results.

I've printed with these inks for years and always get great colors and they've lasted unprotected hanging on walls for years so far.

What can I say about ink, Epson Ink is Ink. It is very expensive!

Always use Epson ink. It's simply the best for the printer.

For some time, and against manufacturer's recommendations, I used 3rd party replacement/refill cartridges in my Epson 4800 Pro. After many, many problems (countless head cleanings, poor quality photos with very visible areas of inconsistent to missing color in random areas), I decided to try Epson-recommended OEM cartridges. Every problem instantly and completely disappeared. Since I began using Epson cartridges (as recommended), which are worth the higher price, I have had no problems (no waisted ink, no unacceptable prints, no waisted time cleaning heads and reprinting). Honestly, I thought Epson recommended their products to increase sales of their ink but I am convinced that I was completely wrong. My printer works well and as advertised - it's a joy to use.
