Cartridge Epson T1598 Matte Black 17ml Ultrachrome Hi-Gloss2

The Epson T1598 cartridge contains 17 ml of UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 matte black ink formulated for use in the Epson Stylus Photo R2000. This original Epson cartridge is intended for photographers and fine-art printers who need deep, neutral blacks, a wide colour gamut and improved media compatibility. The UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 formulation includes a gloss optimizer to reduce gloss differential and increase image stability on various media.

Advantages

The ink provides a high-gloss finish when used with compatible glossy media while the matte black delivers dense, consistent black reproduction on matte papers. Inclusion of a gloss optimizer reduces gloss differential across mixed media surfaces. The formulation offers higher stability on a variety of media and a large colour gamut due to high-density pigments.

Suitable for

Recommendations
