The nine ink Cave Paint bulk ink feed system for the Epson Photo R2400 ships with 9 x 4 oz bottles of ink and costs $399.00. This is the same amount of ink as contained in over 72 original cartridges. The manufacturers stated retail price for an original cartridge is $ 14.24. This means that the system ships with the equivalent amount of ink as $ 1,025.28 worth of original cartridges, an immediate saving of $ 626.28. Ongoing savings are even higher. A 4 oz refill bottle of Cave Paint R24 pigment ink costs $ 27.50 and contains the equivalent ink as over 8 original cartridges, or $ 113.92 worth. This makes the equivalent cost per cartridge $ 3.44 by using Ink2image bulk ink, a saving of over 75%.
The savings from using Ink2image bulk ink can be quite considerable. A user who, for instance, consumed a set of normal cartridges per week on this printer model would spend around $ 6,664 per year on original cartridges. By using a bulk ink feed system the cost for the equivalent Cave Paint R24 pigment ink would be $ 1,608, a saving of $ 5,056 per year.

9 ink Bulk Ink Feed System for the Epson Photo R2400 supplied empty - no inks.**
Ink2image’s innovative bulk ink feed system for the Epson Photo R2400 works by continuously feeding the printing head with ink from large reservoirs which stand beside the printer. As the ink levels run down in the reservoirs, they are simply topped off from 4 or 8 oz refill bottles – no more time wasted changing cartridges and printing nozzle checks. The unique design of the R2400 9 ink system has nine reservoirs and bulk ink adaptors so that both photo and matte black inks can be used on the same system. The spare black bulk ink adaptor is stored on top of the other adaptor. Changing blacks is as simple as swapping the black apaptors and takes a few minutes - just like using original cartridges. The system for the Epson Photo R2400 comes with the choice of the latest Cave Paint Photochrome V3 or R24 pigment ink sets. Developed as a direct replacement for the Epson original inks, The Cave Paint Photochrome V3 inks have the same color gamut and so can be used with standard Epson color settings and profiles. The Cave Paint Photochrome R24 inks feature a wider color gamut than the original inks. Both ink sets have similar non-bronzing qualities on gloss and luster media. The cost savings from running a bulk ink feed are considerable – upwards of 75% compared to using normal original cartridges. Ink2image bulk ink feed systems are built in the USA and use only the best components – space saving modular reservoirs that can be topped up while printing, spongeless bulk ink adaptors with built-in filters and pressure dampers, auto reset chips, and laboratory standard feed tubing. Installation of an Ink2image bulk ink feed system couldn't be simpler. Full instructions are included and installation, which takes about 30 minutes on average, does not require any permanent modification to the printer. All systems ship with a set of 4 oz bottles of ink and a CD containing installation instructions, user guide and free ICC color profiles for Lyson ink on a variety of media.
