Epson ink comes in three types:
- DuraBrite for day to day printing
- Claria for the serious photographer seeking great prints
- UltraChrome designed for graphics professionals and commercial proofs.
Your Epson printer model dictates which of these inks you can use.
Prior to 2003 Epson ink formulation 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.
