MIS Ink :Fast

[Fano]

I had been having some problems with the Cyan ink for my Pixma 3000 so I've decided to switch to MIS ink as recommended here.
I had looked at getting Formulabs and Hobbicolors ink but the delivery costs were prohibitive.
I decided on MIS ink and I ordered a Pint of Cyan ink and a small bottle of cleaning fluid on Sun night off inksupply.com
Woke up today and it had arrived already, 3.5 days to get from the US to Ireland,that's over 4,000 miles.
The best part was that delivery was only $10.
Seems to be the best place to buy if you are based in Europe and need specialised ink.
Hopefully this will stop my Cyan clogging problems.

MIS are pretty good, no denying it but given that you're in Europe and don't want to be paying customs charges you might want to look at whether Gemini Colours in Holland can help. They stock the Image Specialists ink (which is what MIS offer) and are pretty good too..

That said I think they deal in bulk only (litres I think) but the prices are significanly cheaper and postage is good too

Worth bearing in mind if you have a big order..

Thanks for that info Websnail.
I'll look into buying off them in the future.

Perhaps the dominant message in this set of posts is that the set of suppliers a given set of people have access to is not only location specific but also that
certain experienced users in that location may know of other suppliers someone else in that location may not know of.

Which could somewhat define what just a part of the mission of this forum should be------so it might become some what of a message to the forum moderator--to think of ways
of united users in various regions of the world so they can share basic supplier information with each other.---by maybe having a world market forum that could further subdivide into
various world regions with shared supplier markets.

To be honest I don't recommend that approach as it tends to fragment the resource and turn it into a needle in a haystack problem when trying to get information or share ideas. In all honesty I'd say about 5% of discussion is in any way location specific (well, so far) and people usually just post where the heck they are anyways ... but I do have an idea that sort of envelops the situation.

Perhaps a specific single forum where the approach is to prepend any post titles with the format [country][region if applicable] so that any country specific information can be gathered together and easily referenced..

I would also recommend thinking about a directory of suppliers but that could easily be spammed and whilst I'd love to recommend some directory code I wrote myself (that deals very effectively with spam) it's unfortunately written for use with phpBB2 which this forum doesn't use.
