advice neded about pigment ink t1285

[masum]

Hi
i am new in ink refiling. before use third party cartridge to my Epson printer which eventually clog my printers nozzle.
Bought new one which use t1285 series cartridge.
Bought refillable cartridge and dye ink. Dye inks yellow is too light and cyan is too dark. blue print look like bit purplish. and black is not as good as pigment black.
Is it possible to use pigment ink on refillable cartridge. I hard nozzle can clog if i use pigment ink.I use normally every 2- week . If i use pigment ink do i have to print everyday. to prevent clogging.Some people say pigment inks particle will separate form solution if printer not use for long time. is 2-3 week will do this.
and is there any good dye ink available for my printer which give good color result. I am looking for bit economical solution mainly use printing color document and few color picture on photo paper.
So please don't advice too expensive ink.

Thanks


p.s Refiling is great saving and fun. Before it cost me too lots of money to buy original or third party cartridge. Already print almost 1000 page color document and a4 pic. only with one color(c,m.y) and 2 black rifle.(plenty of ink left on my 100 ml bottle for almost another 6-7 refil)

Hi Masum!
I would say its mandatory neccessary to use special compatible inks for your printer

I have a WorkForce Pro epson 4 Color Pigment based printer which uses the same inks as filled in the T1285 cartriges.
I payed 85 plus shipping for 4x 500ml ink and its working great

if you dont use your printer frequently i would rather go to use 3rd party ink cartriges

The octopus-office site can be viewed in German, English, and Italian. At the upper right corner just click the small "Union Jack" to see the site in English. Here is the link to the ink in English: http://www.octopus-office.de/en/sho...pson-t128x-t129x-t701x-t702x-druckerpatronen/

The company only ships to EU countries plus Switzerland, so no overseas deliveries: http://www.octopus-office.de/en/terms-of-delivery/

Depending on your location you could try contacting one of these companies. Both companies ship internationally: http://www.octoink.co.uk/ and http://www.precisioncolors.com/index.html

Good Third party cartridge is not cheap, and most of the time refuse to recognize.Plus lots of unnecessary head cleaning.
and i normally print 100-200 color page at a time. So its not cheap option for me.

I was able to see the German site in English. but no information about ink its pigment or dye.

Many ink vendors' sites have a search function based on printer brand and model instead of cartridge number, so I think you should add the printer model number to your inquiries for better chances of finding the proper ink set.
