I gather the color match, fineness of pigment particles, and the ability for those particles to stay suspended and not settle (clogs head) are the most crucial properties of the pigment inks.
Of course solid content, UV protection, solvent quality, adhesion properties, and many other...
Yes - I thought it was on this forum, because the guy that sells ink on ebay ( I think it is mikling?) was the one that was threatened by the other company to remove the post.
Anyway, one of the moderators or experts with some chemistry knowledge told of a way to do a simple check with a...
Thanks - Thats the kind of information that is most helpful.
I would 1st put a sample ink smear directly on the paper before I put it in the machine.
(did you see that post I am talking about)
There was a question about a company supplying dye and claiming its pigment.
That company (A I) saw the post, made threats and wanted it removed.
The reason I was looking for the post is someone here posted a method of mixing the pigment
with a solvent and checking ph of something. (I had no...
A few weeks ago, I saw in a previous post how to check if ink is pigment ink or dye ink.
I remember someone wanted the post removed, that probably why I can't find it anymore.
Anyway I ordered some pigment ink and I would like to test and be assured it is pigment and not dye ink.
I could not get the cart full or solve the foam issue.
I wasted way to much and the potential for is big mess is great.
So I proceeded with the top fill
I remove that little ball with a hot screw, filled the ink reservoir directly, and plugged that hole with a 1/2mm syringe rubber end...
Wow - The 60cc Syringes from "allegromedica" came today already. Thats fast.
Bent the tip, looks good.
Fit the tubing - excellent.
Finish filling tonight.
Well, that's where the problems all started. I didn't use a candle.
I used a little butane Harbor Fright torch. I thought I could control the heat better then what I did.
It worked fine for the tubing - Oh well - next time I'll use a candle.
Looks like the syringes will be here tomorrow -...
I am working here with a Canon Pro 9000 MK II.
I have four of them because Cannon was virtually giving them away with cameras etc.
And their print quality is as good as it gets.
But since I have some spares I was playing with the idea of making one a continuous feed.
Does anyone have any...
Well living and learning.
I tried to bend the syringe tapered tip with heat. I melted a hole in it.
So I cut the syringe tapered tip off at the hole and did not have much left of the tapered tip to put the tubing, but I thought I had enough.
It could not have been messier. Thank god I was...
I have a 35cc Catheter Syringe.
I bought a clear 9/16OD x 3/8" ID to go over the cart and a clear 3/8 OD x 1/4"ID (from Ace) to go from the syringe tip (fits nicely) to the 3/8OD.
I noticed I can just push that 9/16 x 3/8 over the tapered syringe, all the way to the syringe tube and get a air...
