No matter you use your printer to print important documents or images, using a high-quality ink or toner is of main importance. The ink you will use should provide you with the best quality printouts and should last for a long time. It is quite annoying when you find out that you are out of ink just in the middle of the printing or that the ink has simply dried up. To protect yourself from such situations you should choose an ink that is made to stands out all quality tests. Epson ink is the one that is well known because of its quality. Epson ink cartridges come with DURABride feature that prevents the ink from bleeding through the paper and allow for quick-drying.

Since there is a wide range of Epson printers, when looking to buy Epson ink cartridges make sure you choose the right type of ink that is suitable for the printer you are using. These cartridges come in wide array so there would be no problem to choose the right capacity of ink to match your printing needs. For example, if you are printing a lot you need to go buy Epson ink cartridges with high-capacity which are capable of printing few times more compared to standard capacity units. If you print only occasionally, smaller cartridges are your best choice.

When looking for the right inks you need to make another important decision: colour or black. Colour printers use a mix of three colours black, blue (cyan), red (magenta) and yellow. That is why this type of printers use CMYK colour cartridges. Black and white printers are less expensive and they use only one black cartridge for all printing jobs. They print only black and white or greyscale.

When it comes to the types of cartridges available, there are three main types: original equipment manufacturer, compatible and re-manufactured cartridges. Many companies that manufacture printers, manufacture inkjet cartridges too. For example, Epson printers have Epson inkjet cartridges that are made to work with them. Compatible cartridges are less expensive than the first type and they are manufactured by third-party companies. Re-manufactured types are generally recycled cartridges that have been refilled with ink and are made to work like new again.

If you are usually buying inkjet cartridges more than you actually need is important to store them properly in order to ensure they will not dry out quickly. This means you need to keep them in their original packing and store them away from full sunlight or areas with high temperature. The best place for storing your cartridges is a cold, dark area. Usually, they have a life span from one to two years, so make sure you will use them in this period of time before their quality begins to deteriorate.
