    Pigment Ink for Epson XP-950

    A little feedback about the main issue, maybe it would help someone. Four years ago I bought an Epson xp-960 and some Chinese generic cartridges that I filled with pigment inks. It worked very well for the first year or so, but I am not a regular printer and after a couple of months of...

    Mixing different brands of pigment inks?

    Well, actually me too I'm on the pessimistic side. I never manage to keep a printer running for more than two years so I don't see why it would be any different this time. Hopefully this one will work for that long. (That's my best effort at being optimistic).

    Mixing different brands of pigment inks?

    All the Epson Expression Premium series use the same kind of cartridges with a pigment black in there, so I guess it can work. Let's try to be a little more optimistic for now...

    Mixing different brands of pigment inks?

    Mmh, it's true that I was a little bit surprised when I saw that the refillable cartridges had an sponge. I thought that that didn't exist since long ago. Anyway, it's too late now. It's running on pigments already. I'm going to do some very not at all scientific tests and I'll see... I may end...

    Mixing different brands of pigment inks?

    Okey, thanks for the suggestion, I'll try some mixtures on a glass first, see what happens. I'm going to use them on an XP-960 that has a 6 colours set. And I admit that I'm even tempted to mix the R2000 gloss optimizer with the WF-7610 cyan to make LCyan (same with the magenta)... I have a...

    Mixing different brands of pigment inks?

    Hello, I'm changing printers at the moment and I find myself with a bunch of leftovers of different kinds of pigment inks. Some from Cobra for the Epson R2000; some from InkjetCarts (IS I think) for a WF-7610; and some from FotoRite for the 1500W. I'm wondering if someone know if it's possible...

    Which Pigment Ink for Epson 1500W?

    Yes, thanks. After all this years, I thought I knew enough about maintenance and how to avoid clogging. Now I admit that as long as I continue using third party inks with Chinese cartridges I will be putting my printer at risk. And you're right about the CISS, filling and refilling cartridges is...

    Which Pigment Ink for Epson 1500W?

    I'm not that worried about gloss differential, since I'd print my own illustrations and I kind of like that effect actually. I'm worrying mostly about the ink not sticking properly to the paper and getting easily scratched. I was very happy with my R2000 and doing refills since always, but now...

    Which Pigment Ink for Epson 1500W?

    Hello, I'm thinking in replacing my not so old R2000 with a 1500w with pigment inks and I have a couple of questions. I would like to try the Powerchrome K3 inks and use the Matte Black on it, but, do you know if somehow it would be possible to make good quality prints on glossy paper? maybe a...

    Hola todos

    I would have loved to come to this forum in different circumstances, but of course if I'm here today is because my printer, alas, just died. But I have hope that, with some of your good advices, my printing future would be much brighter. What printers do you currently have (manufacturers /...
