Epson R3000 Bulk Ink are Lyson and ink2image equivalent?

[AndrewMcD]

I have searched through the various threads about the Epson R3000 printer and I'm almost to the point of pulling the trigger to make the purchase. I have noted that the Lyson bulk inks are well received in these forums. I'm in the USA and most of the Lyson users seem to be European; as is their web site and pricing. The ink2image.com website in the USA appears to be offering what is essentially the same as the Lyson bulk ink replacement kit for the R3000. Does anybody have any experience with the ink2image refillable ink system for the Epson R3000 or can they confirm that this is essentially the same system that Lyson sells?

Sorry that others who are able to answer the question, haven't seen it and/or responded.

I, obviously, don't know about the ink2image system so cannot help with the question. I've got the Permajet EcoFlo bulk system fro my R3000. Permajet is part of the Imaging Warehouse and is, I think, UK-only.

Donald,
Thank you for responding. After spending a bit more time searching through the threads and checking websites I've concluded that Permajet will ship to the USA and appears to be very well thought of in these forums. I have ordered the R3000 from B&H Photo in New York City (couldn't resist with the $200. rebate offer and free shipping!). Are you able to comment regarding your experience with the Permajet EcoFlo bulk system? It appears that over the long term the Permajet EcoFlo bulk system is superior to reloading cartridges and may prove more versatile and ultimately less expensive.
Thanks again,
Andrew
