Thank you very much!!!My question is where they get InkTec's violet ink. I've checked all the InkTec ink representative websites (Spain, UK, Korea), and none of them offer this color ink. Only inks compatible with Ultrachrome K3. I've read on some forums that they mix inks to achieve this, which would raise a lot of questions. Has anyone seen InkTec violet ink on any of the official InkTec websites? Thanks!!!

Actually I think the Inktec Powerchrome violet ink is probably a mix....I suggest to buy genuine Violet ink (in large cartridge of 350 ml) and suck the ink out with a syringe, like I have done. It gives a much better result.

I was about to post something similar as we've never seen any specific inks for the Violet colour and there's no P900 specific blends for colour matching either so it looks like this is very much a custom blend created by printout24.com ... and all credit to them for doing the work... Just a bit confusing when I get pinged for ink that isn't an official Inktec product.

Actually the best way is to buy (expired) violet ink cartridge from LPF Epson printers and suck the ink out with a large syringe: the gamut is way better than the home-brewed "Violet" Inktec Powerchrome ink.

I wonder where your colleague in France gets his (claimed Inktec) ink from:
