New Epson Claria ET Premium Ink

The New 6-colour ink set produces superb, high-quality photos. Photos last up to 300 years when stored in an album. Photo black and new photo grey ink for stunning B&W photos. And the pigment black ink for sharp text documents on plain paper.

Why no Light Cyan and Light Magenta inks?

Traditional 6-colour models don’t use the smallest Cyan/Magenta droplet sizes to print the lightest shades. Instead, the printer uses large droplets of the lighter inks. This enhances quality without causing the printer to become annoyingly slow when printing areas of light colours.

The new ET-8500 and ET-8550 have a faster print head

(fast enough to use the smallest Cyan/Magenta droplet sizes for printing large areas of light colour), and combined with blending the new Photo Grey ink, means the lighter inks are no longer necessary.

By removing the Light Cyan & Light Magenta inks we can now include:

Pigment Black: for office-quality A4 text printing on plain paper

Photo Grey: for greatly enhanced B&W photo printing

Wide Colour Gamut

The wide colour gamut of Epson Claria ET Premium Ink delivers:

Better colour reproduction

Especially in the red, magenta and purple ranges

The new photo grey ink helps create more neutral colours
