I want to buy ink for mine i9950. On http://www.octopus-office.de there are 3 kinds of ink for that printer.
I don't have no experience with refiling cartridges. I was using only OEM. So my question is, which ink gives best results for that printer:
Octopus Ink
Octopus Ink Selection
PURE ink

Or should I think about precision colors?

I don't know the ink brands from octopus-ofice.de, but I know the Image Specialists brand of refill ink. It is a brand preferred by many members, me included. It is available from Precisioncolors located in Canada and from Octoinkjet located in UK. Both dealers offer an ink set for your printer. Here is an ink set for your printer from Precisioncolors and here from Octoinkjet UK.

I guess you are located in Europe, since you are mentioning a German company?

I have to agree with @PeterBJ, I.S. inks are very good and extremely affordable but best of all they are a pretty good match for OEM inks.

Octopus inks are supposed to be very good too but as I have never use them I can’t really tell you what their quality is like.

I use I.S. inks in my i9950 and have never had one single complaint while use them, I also use a mixture of BCl-6 and CLl-8 cartridges in the printer I keep a complete set spare as back-up so I don’t have to refill while printing..

I'm from Croatia. And thanks for replies. I was confused and thinking all the time, until now that octopus and octoinkjet is the same thing!
What I gonna to do is, that I will buy first inks from octopus and do test, compare same picture printed with oem inks which I do at first time. Next time I will try with "yours" I.S inks and compare all three pictures printed on same printer and paper.
I try first from octopus because Germany is more connected with my country and ink will be delivered faster.
I got many full and sealed empty oem carts.... For testing.
And I hope that I will soon have two working I 9950 printers ...
