I just bought an Epson R2400 printer that uses the K3 inkset. I would like to order a few of the most used ink carts for backup (not a full set). Can anyone clue me in to which carts typically get used fastest in normal color photographic printing?

I have the 2200 and I go through the magentas and blacks pretty quick. My printer is used almost exclusively for photos.

Thanks...the 2200 uses a different inkset doesn't it? The K3 set has four different black inks, for instance. Does the 2200 use magenta and light magenta?

Anyone using the K3 set?

Yes, I have two blacks and two magentas, all things being equal they tend to empty before the other colors.

thanks again...I guess I'll go ahead and order extra magentas and blacks.

I have the 2100 (2200 in the states i think) and usually I find with general photo printing it's the 'light' colours that go faster. Light cyan and light magenta always seem to empty out quicker! I just try and keep plenty of spares on hand!
