Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of Epson UltraChrome K3 ink?

The primary benefit is the production of archival-quality prints with exceptional color accuracy, stability, a high gloss finish, and scratch resistance, while minimizing the metamerism effect.

Which Epson printer is this cartridge compatible with?

This specific cartridge, the C13T591100, is designed for the Epson Stylus Pro 11880 printer.

Is this ink suitable for black and white printing?

Yes, the UltraChrome K3 ink is particularly well-suited for professional, neutral, and toned black and white prints due to its color stability and reduced metamerism.

What does 'pigment-based ink' mean?

Pigment-based ink uses solid colorants suspended in a liquid base, which sit on the surface of the paper, offering greater durability, lightfastness, and water resistance compared to dye-based inks.

How long will a 700ml cartridge last?

The lifespan of a 700ml cartridge varies greatly depending on print volume, coverage per print, and printer usage (e.g., frequency of cleaning cycles). For professional use, it is designed to handle significant print runs.

Can I use this cartridge in a different Epson printer model?

No, this cartridge is specifically engineered for the Epson Stylus Pro 11880. Using it in an incompatible printer may result in poor print quality or printer damage.

What is 'metamerism' and why is it important to reduce it?

Metamerism is the phenomenon where colors appear to match under one light source but differ under another. Reducing metamerism ensures that your prints maintain consistent and accurate color appearance regardless of the viewing light, which is critical for professional applications.

Troubleshooting

Printer not recognizing the ink cartridge

Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated. Remove and reinsert it, checking for any obstructions. Verify that the cartridge is a genuine Epson T591100 and is compatible with your specific printer model (Epson Stylus Pro 11880). Restart the printer.

Poor print quality (streaks, missing colors)

Perform a print head cleaning cycle through your printer's utility software. If the issue persists after cleaning, check the ink levels and ensure the correct ink type is installed. If the cartridge is new, allow the printer to complete its initialization process.

Ink smudging or not drying properly

Ensure you are using the correct paper type for pigment inks and that the paper is fully dry before handling. The UltraChrome K3 ink is designed to be scratch-resistant once fully cured, but initial handling requires care.
