Epson Inks

I have not purchased Epson Ink for the 3880 for a while. I went to the Epson website to order and there are none available. Also, the prices have increased significantly since the last time I bought ink.

What is going on?

Is anyone using any substitute inks for the 3880 successfully?

The first thing I would try is internet stores that carry Epson inks.  The supplies in these online stores is likely still in stock if Epson has temporarily stopped production of 3880 inks for some reason.  I would try Adorama, BH Photo and Hunts Photo first as their inks are appt to be freshest.

I get all my ink for Epson printers from lexjet.com. Very good and fast service.

That is where I ordered from this time, but why would Epson be out of ink?

The prices have had a major increase as well.

Perhaps factory shut-downs/slow-downs due to COVID-19...
