Hello!
I recently ordered an Epson L805 and am planning to convert the printer to pigment ink.
Which pigment ink do you recommend? I live in Germany so I cannot get Precision Colors or InkOwl. Can I use Epson Ecotank 113 and delute Magenta and Cyan to get Light Magenta and Light Cyan? Or should I use pigment ink similar to DuraBrite like these: https://www.farbenwerk.com/Coloration-Office-Pro-4-Flaschen-Set
What routines should I follow to avoid clogging? I have no experience of refilling other than buying 3rd-party ink cartridges and installing them in my printer, which has always been successful and my old printers lasted for almost 10 years.
Also, a classmate wants to convert her Epson Expression Photo X-55 to pigment ink, which I don't think is a good idea. I've seen people convert Ecotanks to pigment inks quite often, but I don't know of any other models. Although I have seen comments in this forum how all Epson printers are pigment ink capable, even those originally working with dye ink.
