can epson's claria inks be used in wf et4550?
INKXPRO has Claria in 100 ml bottles or so they sayClaria inks are only available in small cartridges, not as a refill ink. You may
use other 3rd party refill ink as offered by various ink suppliers in different countries.
many thanks for the link - I have been all over their site but did not stumble on the disclaimer'Our ink is similar to the Epson Claria Hi-Definition Ink. ' as quoted from their website
http://www.inkxpro.com/Epson-Claria-Hi-Definition-Ink-p/ink-epson-hi-definition-dye.htm
So what does this mean - which property of the genuine Claria ink is in/excluded in the similarity and to which extend - the same color - the same UV-longevity - the same other physical properies - surface tension - viscosity - ph value etc ???
I'm sure the ink will print, even pretty well on the first glance , but you as a customer are not able at all to verify the other parameters.
P.S. Just read their Terms of Use - they do not make any warrantees in terms of suitability, adequacy, performance etc of their products................
again many thanks - there is so much to think about and so little time for thinking!I don't have reason to think that this inkxpro ink would not perform in an Epson printer, I just would assume that this ink would perform similar like lots of other dye inks I have tested, far below the longevity performance of genuine manufacturer's inks - Canon, Epson, Fujifilm.
I did not test any of such sprays but I tested a gloss optimizer overprint over dye inks as a UV protection measure, there is some effect but by far not as much as you would like to get, There may be other reasons to use such spray - surface/scratch protection or a more uniform gloss with pigment inks.
