Original Epson Inks

Epson is one of the most popular printer brands sold in the UK today and has a wide range of models that suit everyone from the occasional home user to the demanding photographic studio.

Epson have a long pedigree when it comes to printer ink technology, having launched their first ink cartridge in 1993 using Micro Piezoelectric Drop on Demand (DOD) technology in the print head. Something designed by their in-house engineering teams.

By using a Piezoelectric DOD technology in their inkjet printers, Epson has been able to develop a wider variety of inks than the “Thermal Drop on Demand” technologies used by their rivals Hewlett Packard and Canon. This is because Epson do not have to use any volatile liquid components in the droplet phase of the printing process. Another spin off from this is Epson inkjet printers are not as susceptible to print head blockages due to a build-up of ink residue.

In addition Epson Micro Piezoelectric print heads allow for Variable Size Droplet Technology (VSDT). Modern Epson inkjets can trigger precisely sized drops of ink, in up to five different sizes. This allows the document text or printed image to be sharper looking with better tonal transitions.

Epson continue to develop their ink technologies and below you will see the full range of original Epson Inks and the Epson inkjet cartridges available in each individual range.

Genuine Epson Inks

Epson ink comes in three types: DuraBrite for day to day printing, Claria for the serious photographer seeking great prints and the high end UltraChrome designed for graphics professionals and commercial proofs. Your Epson printer model dictates which of these Epson inks you can use.

Prior to 2003 Epson printer inks had no specific branding like we know today. However Epson continue to produce their original ink in a range of cartridges for use in the now obsolete Epson Stylus and Epson Stylus Photo printers.

Claria Home Ink

The Claria range of Epson printer inks was introduced back in 2003. By combining the glossy colour photo reproduction of cyan, magenta and yellow dye-based inks with the durability of black pigment ink. Epson has created an ink formulation, in Claria Home Ink, that delivers lab-quality photo printing at home along with great colour and mono documents too. All at an affordable price.

Claria Photographic Ink

Epson Claria Photographic Ink features an extra wide colour gamut (the portion of colour space that can be represented/reproduced from a complete subset of colours) for smoother gradations and an amazing vivid gloss finish. Epson Claria photographic ink is a revolutionary dye based ink that provides both the casual and enthusiast photographer, stunning photos that last for generations to come. Scratch and fade resistant prints are produced too due to the ink being absorbed into the paper as opposed to sitting on top of the paper as with some other inks. The Epson Claria Photographic Ink set comes in a 6 cartridge set.

Epson Claria Photographic Inks contains a quick drying formula that allows your photographic prints to be handled immediately after printing, unlike the experience when using more conventional dye based inks that will need several minutes of drying time.

Claria Premium Ink

Epson have designed their Claria Premium Ink to be versatile enough for creating great images and sharp text in your documents etc. The Claria Premium Ink set contains 5 individual ink cartridges.

By using 4 colour dye inks (Magenta, Cyan, Yellow and Black) and 1 pigment black ink (Photo Black), Epson Claria Premium ink technology delivers great images including stunning photos and laser-quality text and lasts for more than 200 years. Ink cartridges are available in both standard and XL capacity.

Claria Photo HD Ink

Epson Claria Photo HD Inks allow the user to create amazing ultra Hi-Definition photos with outstanding richness, depth and clarity. Archival photos printed using Epson Claria Photo Hi-Definition Inks, last more than 200 years in an album and 98 years out of an album (up to 4 times longer than lab prints).

The Claria Photo HD Ink set is a 6 colour ink system designed especially for home photography.

DURABrite Ultra Ink

In 2005 Epson introduced an ink technology called DURABrite Ultra, a pigment based ink designed for use on all sorts of papers, from plain copy paper to glossy photographic paper. Prints using Epson DURABrite Ultra ink have a fade resistance of 120 years.

By shrinking the individual pigment particles and coating them in a special resin, DURABrite Ultra ink provides smudge free water resistant printing for the masses. DURABrite Ultra inks come in either 4 or 6 cartridge sets depending on the printer model purchased and is the bestselling range of inks Epson sell.

EPSON UltraChrome High Gloss 2 Ink

Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 Ink (the standard in glossy, large-format printing) uses advanced ink technology designed to create highly vibrant, true to life photos up to 13" wide using Epson printers. Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 Ink comes in a 8 cartridge set that allows for the printing of professional high quality photographs, commercial proofs and graphic art. Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 Ink also has archival properties that photographer’s desire.

EPSON Ultra Chrome K3 Ink

Improving on the Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 Ink, the Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink comes as an 8 colour pigment based ink system including a new 3 level black ink technology that offers significantly advanced grey balance and mid-range tones. This additional black ink also goes some way to minimising the optical phenomenon of metamerism, and so produce gallery quality images.

Just like the Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 Ink it has archival properties that photographer’s desire.

EPSON UltraChrome K3 ink with Vivid Magenta

By adding Vivid Magenta to their UltraChrome K3 Ink, Epson has created an ink technology with a higher colour quality. With the addition of vivid magenta high density pigments, users now have access to more vibrant blues and purples with the same archival properties that photographer’s desire.

EPSON UltraChrome HDR Ink

Epson UltraChrome HDR (High Dynamic Range) is Epson’s most recent pigment ink technology for the professional marketplace. The Epson UltraChrome HDR ink set uses ten colours - including the new orange and green cartridges. Epson UltraChrome HDR ink produces the widest colour gamut (the portion of colour space that can be represented/reproduced from a complete subset of colours) ever from an Epson Stylus Pro printer!

Unlike all the other Epson Ink Cartridges listed on this page, Epson UltraChrome HDR ink cartridges do not come as a picture series. Instead they are simply sold in plain packaging as individual boxes.

About Epson Printers

Epson printers are designed and manufactured by a Japanese corporation called the Seiko Group, of which there are three core companies: Seiko Holdings Corp, Seiko Instruments Inc., and Seiko Epson Corp which is often shortened to Epson. The corporation was setup in 1942 with 22 employees based in a small building making watch parts. By the late 1950's they had established themselves as quality watch makers and became the official time keeper for the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. It was during this event that the need for a way to print the official timings became apparent and so the corporation decided to design and build an electronic printer, and in 1968 the world's first mini electric printer EP101 was born.

Epson printer inks first appeared on the market in 1993 with the release of the Epson Stylus 800 cartridge. This Epson black ink cartridge was a major leap forward in inkjet technology as it incorporated a new print head using Piezoelectric technology - invented in the Epson labs. In 1994 Epson released the Stylus Colour P860A inkjet printer, their second inkjet, which really established the company and their printer business grew rapidly from then on.

Epson all-in-one devices

These are the so called multi-function devices that offer printing, copying, scanning and sometimes faxing too. An Epson all-in-one is much more than a printer. These devices are very popular with small businesses or for use in a home office.

Epson Single Function printers

These are printers, they are the work horses in the Epson range, they offer great quality and reliable output with no extra features.

Epson Wide Format printers

For professional quality prints, a wide format printer is ideal. Wide format printers get their name from their ability to handle paper that is larger than A4; perfect for printing posters and artwork.

Epson Compact Photo printers

Dubbed the "personal photo lab", these printers have a smaller footprint and are designed to be easy to move around; ideal for printing photos, these devices usually accept just photo sized paper and not A4.
