Experience with Farbenwerk Carbonprint inks?

[t4thomas]

Has anyone here used Farbenwerk Carbonprint inks for B&W printing?

I’d be really interested in any real-world experience with the Carbonprint system... especially print quality, tonal smoothness, neutrality, reliability/clogging, and how straightforward they are to set up and use.

Is anyone else offering something like this?

Thanks

The Farbenwerk Carbonprint inks are intended for use in Epson printers only.

Canon printers use thermal printheads and Epson printers use piezo electric printheads. Inks for Epson printers are not suitable for use in Canon printers and might ruin the printhead.

Thanks for the heads-up, Peter!

I should have made this clearer in my original post: I definitely won’t be putting Epson or third-party inks into the Pro-10S. I’m very happy with it and plan to keep it strictly on Canon OEM inks.

What I’m actually thinking of doing is picking up a cheap second-hand Epson from eBay or such like... something like an R2400, R2880, R3000 or 1400/1500W... and converting that into a dedicated monochrome/carbon printing setup.

So my question is really aimed at anyone running Carbonprint on an Epson platform.

Thanks again for looking out for my Pro-10S printhead!
