Quick question Re: Epson 2880
« on: April 19, 2011, 09:15:48 pm »

I have a charity event coming up where I'll be printing portraits on location. I'll have my 2880 and I'll be printing in the neighbourhood of 100 8x10s on Epson Ultra Premium Luster. I've never kept track of how many prints I can get out of a set of inks. Any suggestion as to how many sets of ink I should bring? I'm thinking 4. Thoughts?

4 sounds too high.  I sold my 2880 last year so it's a distant memory but as I recall two ink sets should be all that's needed (three to be really safe).  You also don't need the full ink sets as some colors are used more than others (I think the two lighter blacks get used more than PK).

Thanks! I'll go with 3 and return what I don't use.
