Epson R3000 refill ink from INKTEC

[ioprappas]

I just bought an Epson R3000 printer for my home work and for printing photos.
I am planning to use refillable cartridges with inks from Inktec.
As I can see, Inktec cannot provide Ultrachrome inks for every cartridge for the Epson R3000:

Photo Black UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157120)
Cyan UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157220)
Vivid Magenta UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157320)
Yellow UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157420)
Light Cyan UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157520)
Vivid Light Magenta UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157620)
Light Black UltraChrome K3i nk cartridge (T157720)
Matte Black UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157820)
Light Light Black UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157920)

Could you advice me for a fair combination of Inktec Ultrachrome inks (http://www.inktec-uk.co.uk/ultrachrome.htm) and another brand's inks which can be used in combination for optimal results in photo printing?

Thanks in advance,
Ioannis

Use the "normal" magenta's for the corresponding "vivid" magenta's. Inktec's normal magenta is very vivid.

Thank you very much for your answers.
One more question: can I use the above-mentioned Inktec UltraChrome inks in combination with PowerChrome K3 VIVID colors VM + VLM ?
Is there any degradation of printing quality?

Here is my plan for the Cartridges:

Photo Black UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157120) --> Inktec UltraChrome Photo Black
Cyan UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157220) --> Inktec UltraChrome Cyan
Vivid Magenta UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157320) --> InkTec PowerChrome K3 Vivid Magenta
Yellow UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157420) --> Inktec UltraChrome Yellow
Light Cyan UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157520) --> Inktec UltraChrome Light Cyan
Vivid Light Magenta UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157620) --> Inktec UltraChrome Photo/Light Magenta OR InkTec PowerChrome K3 Vivid Light Magenta (Which is the best???)
Light Black UltraChrome K3i nk cartridge (T157720) --> Inktec UltraChrome Light Black
Matte Black UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157820) --> Inktec UltraChrome Matte Black
Light Light Black UltraChrome K3 ink cartridge (T157920) --> Inktec UltraChrome Light Light Black

Once again, Thank You in advance.

PowerChrome is InkTec. UltraChrome is Epson. Not to confuse! I recommend to fill the same series of ink. So all InkTec PowerChrome K3.

Prices on the Web from your link are very high. £ 99.99 is too much. Here in the Czech Republic is the price for 1L - £ 43 (1270 CZK) - http://shop.inktec.cz/422-inkousty-1l/

Thank you very much for your answers.
One more question: is there someone in the forum who has compared InkTec Powerchrome with ConeColors Ultrachrome K3 Inks on a Epson R3000 printer?
Is there any difference regarding the quality, glossiness etc?
Thanks to everyone for any response.
