I was forced to eliminate ocp inks from my printers, two of them. Both have problems with yellow and matte black inkflow after printing a few meters of heavy colored images. In my 9900 i was even forced to replace the dampers.

Magenta is from octopous. I know i had to use k3 hdr inks. I was thinking that it can't be much difference, my mistake, it is. Wait a minute, I don't blame ocp or octopous for ink ink quality. It is all my fault. I tried and not succed, that's all. I was just tring to give some info for others...

Yes, i know. Test prints are ok, prety much like an offset press. A good one. It is not the gamut that draws me back. It is the fact that yellow (less), black and magenta (more) are droping a lot of nozzles while printing. 1 square meter of print and i loose 25-30% of nozzles. After every print...

No need to be sarcastic. I was expecting this, but with such a big margin, no. On 180 matte coated paper (no matte photo) i have 500000 vs 900000 cubic units. That's a BIG difference. And the biggest surprise is that my roland ecosolvent printer is better on colors than waterbased epson. With...

I'm using ocp ink in combination with octopus magenta. Printer is Epson 9700 pro. Maybe the nozzles are to thin for ocp inks. Prints are ok, good colors, but gamut is way smaler than inktek dyes. Almost half. For 180g matte coated paper i have about 550000 cubic units for pigment, and nearly...

I have major problems since i refill with ocp inks. I am loosink yellow and matte black while i'm printing. A normal cleaning will do but i have to do this after each print. Anybody else have this problem with ocp inks?

one thing i nottice: printing on 120g matte coated i get paper curl very bad on heavy loads of ink. with dyes i didn't notice such a thing. i also think my ink limits are ok (88% for individual and 230 for total).

pharmacist, do you find the black to be black enough?

I have a stylus 9700 printer with inktec dyes. It is a 4 color printer but i have a huge gamut of over 900000 units on photo paper. It prints on every media i want. On microporos paper the prints are even waterproof. Downside is that the prints fades in about 2 weeks when exposed to light, even...

I have ordered the OCP inks before your findigs about magenta. All i can say is that deep blues and purples are are weak with the original OCP configuration, thanx for the octopus magenta tip. But i have other issue. I print on Natura microporos semigloss paper ( made in germany ???) and i have...

as you can see i'm using a RIP. this is a linearisation target. i'm not using a paper, i'm "building" one. thus the only setting remain to do on the printer its self. i can use a custom paper since photopaper is not good (and not editable except feed corection) but the menu is quite criptinc in...

UPDATE: i have printed a nozzel chack on lustre paper. after a while it is all OK. all colors. so: how come that printing lines is ok, and full colors is not ok?

i am back with my mistery: how come that black ink is ok and all other (CMY) inks are not? it is true that original inks where CMY = dye and K = pigment. but can the printer shoot the droplets different on different type of ink? there is no option in any menu to specify the type of ink. and yes...

also tried HP EVERYDAY PIGMENT semigloss paper with no succes. very stange for me is the fact that black ink is ok from the poitn of adhesion. why CMY don't adhere is a big mistery for me.

wow, thanx ALOT

sorry no MIS supplier in europe. 6 to 10 day to ship in my country. how about lyson inks? they are closer :D

thanx for answers. today i made a few more tests and i discover that black ink is ok, adhere well to a lustre paper. but no luck with CMY. since the original ink in the printer was dye, i'm shure i can safely use dye. i'm using the printer for CAD drawings, but also for paper posters. is the dye...

hi everybody. i have a mutoh RJ900 PRO, similar with an Epson 9800, filled with a swiss-made ink from signtrade. signtrade claims it is a premium pigment ink. i'm using this premium pigment ink and i'm not able to print on semi or gloss papers. where is heavy coverage ink rubs off very easily...
