These cartridges are extremely easy to refill, simply remove the plug and pour in the ink. This product is fitted with a resettable ink level chip. Once a cartridge indicates empty, simply remove and refill. After refilling, use the chip resetter to reset the ink volume. A chip resetter is included in the starter kit. Once reset, the ink level will show full when re-inserting the ink cartridge. The cartridges can be installed one at a time and used in conjunction with original Epson ink cartridges, allowing you to replace with refillable cartridges as you empty your genuine cartridges.

Resin encapsulation is a process where the pigment crystal is coated in a resin polymer. This technology prevents coagulation and settlement issues as it prevents agglomeration, the attraction of electrically charged particles. Traditional pigment inks are prone to settlement caused in part by that electrical charge of the particles, drawing them together much like a magnet. insulating against the static charge better resists settlement. Resin coating also prevents the crystals from catching and bonding which is an issue with traditional pigment inks, allowing them to roll off each other creating a smooth flowing ink with even particle distribution.

A greater colour gamut (increased colour range) is achieved as the pigment particles are not clumped and thus are more evenly distributed when in suspension. Because of this, rihac Photo Pro inks are suitable for printing on resin coated glossy media which can produce prints of near equal vividness of dye inks. The resin also acts as a bonding agent for the papers allowing the inks to adhere to the surface making the prints far more scratch resistant than other inks. Light fastness is increased due to two primary factors. Firstly the dispersions already have an outstanding fade rating as per the DIN 54004 scale but also the resin protects the pigment particles minimizing UV light damage.
