Hi All,
After a bit of advice, of late I have been doing a lot more printing (I have started selling Greeting Cards)
I use an Epson R300 Photo machine and although it is a few yers old it still seems to work fine, however a full set of Epson inks is approx £60 for the 6 Cartridges. I have started using Ebay specials at just a few pounds for a set and to be honest I can't tell a difference in printed quality.
I realise I am very much an amateur, but still not as much an amateur as the people buying the cards, and so far everyone has been really complimentary of the quality ( printed on Premium Glossy 250g/sm Tesco paper which I have found also perfectly acceptable.
So my question is, if the quality to look at seems ok, what other difference is there? Is it the longevity of the print, does cheap ink fade drastically quicker, especially if exposed to light.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards Paul
