actually, 3000 has 110ml cartridges, that's why they last so long.  . .

on the down side, it is loud and rattles as it prints. It is also missing some of the features newer printers have. It still works fine though.

Ah, I quit using mine just over three years ago, so my memory is a bit hazy.  I just recall they were freakin' huge.

Fresh Baked Printing:
I print with a 3000 and have a 3000 for backup.
I use genuine Epson ink carts. I buy them whenever I see them Craigslist or ebay, etc for cheap. Never pay more $15/cart! Sometimes I'll buy a working or non-working 3000 because it comes with more ink than the printer is worth.
I hear you can use non-Epson inks carts, I think problems arise when you mix ink brands. Whatever ink you choose to run, stay consistent and stay with that brand.
Epson ink prints dark and beautiful, I'm not sure what kind of performance non-Epson inks produce.

squeezee:
They have 110ml cartridges.  You can use the Epson 9000 220ml cartridges, though you have to break the lugs off.
They are excellent workhorses if a little slow and low resolution.
