There are two good inks that are recommended on this forum, one Image Specialists inks and two OCP inks,
and many suppliers do sell them worldwide but check first.

If your supplier doesnt say where he gets his ink from then dont buy any ink from them.

Choice of ink is personal. Better is in the eye of the beholder. If you find Inktec to be more to your liking then go with it. Sometimes it comes down to where you are located which determine best priced ink due to shipping costs. I would like to try KMP ink but the shipping to North America is more than I care to pay. I use Image Specialists inks sold by forum member Mikling at Precision Colors on eBay and am very satisfied.

Thanks, well I used Inktec in my previous HP printer, the quality are good but my printer dead because inks spill inside the printer and now I many doubts about Inktec quality, I dont know if the ink was responsible for the failure of my old printer but.....

I posted two very good inks to use in the earlier thread and failed to mention anything about Inktec inks for a good reason.

Yes Inktec colour inks work very well and give very good quality prints but their pigment black ink
is not the best and so I couldnt recommend that to you.

I dough very much that Inktec inks were solely responsible for the death of your HP printer,
as any ink spillage into a printers can do the very same regardless of its brand name..:barnie
