Do you do a lot of printing, especially printing your photos from your home printer? If you do, you know how important the quality of the printer, ink and paper can be to preserving your memories and important documents. There’s a new inkjet cartridge in town made specifically for high quality printing needs.

Epson is revolutionising the quality at which inkjet printers print at. Durabrite is a pigment based ink which seperates the colours out of one ink cartridge into three individual cartridges. Because the ink is pigment based, it offers superior qualities that water soluble inks just aren’t capable of. Whether you’re looking for high quality ink to print your photo memories at home or high quality business cards and letter heads or just to print your school projects in style, Epson’s Durabrite Ink is a great choice!

1. Lasting photo prints

Durabrite Ink is pigment based so it will resist water, smudges, smears and is light resistant to prevent your memories from fading. The ink is resistant on any paper type you run through the printer. In tests carried out by Epson, photographs printed with Durabrite Ultra Ink, on photo paper and placed in a glass front frame, resisted fading up to six times longer than average print. (When storing important photographs and documents, always store them properly for the most effective fade resistance.) Not only that, the ink is fast drying, even on glossy photo paper. The fast drying ink makes Durabrite the ultimate choice when needing to print double sided documents.

2. Use any paper with the same results

Epson’s Durabrite ink will yield the same high quality prints on any paper or media type you might use. It prints perfectly on plain old, ordinary stock paper as well as it prints on high gloss photo paper. This will ensure that all of your memories, photos, documents and anything else you can print will be bright, bold crisp, and clear every time you print.

3. Revolution in Ink Cartridges

Now you can control what colours you need to replace with Epson’s Durabrite Ink. For convenience and ease of installation, Epson made each colour (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) into it’s own cartridge. Instead of having to replace an entire colour cartridge when you run out of cyan ink, you only need to replace the cyan cartridge. This reduces ink usage and saves you money. Epson has also provided a high capacity black cartridge for high volume document needs.

Right from their launch in late 1980s, inkjet printer has gained its own popularity among small businesses and domestic users. Inkjet printers were initially developed by Canon that prints letter and images on the paper by spraying small streams of quick-drying ink. They are the most economical printers that are available in market, and are manufactured by all leading brands. They use liquid ink for printing that is stored in disposable ink cartridges. If you want to get the most out of your printer, then it is very mandatory to equip them with the best inkjet printer cartridges. These printer ink cartridges are manufacture by leading brands like Epson, Compaq, Dell, HP, Lexmark, Brother and more.
Basically inkjet printer cartridges are classified into three main types they are;
1. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) ink cartridges:
The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) ink cartridges are a cartridge that holds the tradename of the manufacturer on it. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) ink cartridges are offered by Epson, Canon, Hewlett Packard, Compaq, Dell and more.
2. Compatible ink cartridges:
These generic ink cartridges are manufactured by a company other than the original printer manufacturer. Compatible inkjet cartridges can be used with most of the printers, no matter whatever their brand is. These compatible ink cartridges are readily available in the market and are cheaper than the OEM cartridges.
3. Remanufactured ink cartridges:
As the name implies, the remanufactured inkjet cartridges are refilled once the ink is emptied. Remanufactured inkjet cartridges hold several advantages. They are available at an affordable price, eco-friendly and offer more prints.
The quality of the printout solely depends on the ink and paper you use. Inkjet printer cartridges use two entirely different types.
Dye based inks:
The dye based inks have varied colour combinations, but it takes some time to fix on to the paper, which may result in smearing at times. The dye based inks are ideal for straightforward monochrome printing. This type of ink is not water or light proof that may fade on longer run.
Pigmented inks:
The pigmented inks are resistant against water and light dries quickly than a dye based. Pigmented inks are better choice for colour printing, because they deliver great print quality. So, they are widely preferred rather than dye based inks.
