moopfmerising musings

Well it took a while to arrive, but my Lyson bulk ink system for the Epson R2400 has finally turned up this morning. It was the courier’s fault – they spent 3 days playing pass the parcel between depots as none of them thought my address was in their delivery area!

As you can see there’s a lot to it and about 20 pages of instructions to read through to get it installed. But it will be worth it (well I hope so anyway).

The benefit of this system is that it will cut my ink costs by about 70% whilst still using archival quality inks. It also means that I won’t have to keep ordering ink supplies – it comes with the equivalent of about 6 Epson cartridges of each colour and the refills are even bigger. Lyson (who are only just up the road from me, but you can’t order direct!) have a long history of quality ink production and they created archival inks specifically for the R2400 so the results should be fantastic.

I’ll be installing this later after I’ve done some bulk printing of flyers and stickers to use up the current cartridges I have in the printer.
