United Kingdom - source for 'Canon PGI-5' compatible Pigment Black

[cjayd]

Hi
I've just attempted my first re-fill and it's been a relatively simple experience.
First cartridge was a touch messy, but the second was a fairly clean 'not too much' dripping experience.

Most Ink suppliers though seem only to offer 'Dye' black ink and think it;s OK to fill the larger 'pigment cartridge' with Dye ink.

My use is mainly Brochures - with a lot of black text - and some colour graphics.
And onto 'non photo' paper

Hence I want 'crisp' text - for which I believe the Pigment ink is the right way to go.

Can anyone point me to a U.K supplier of Pigment Ink suitable for the Canon PGI-5 cartridge (I have the IP4500 printer).

I dont need a lot (100-200ml) will be fine

Regards

The most superior aftermarket pigment ink for the BCI-3eBK and PGI-5Bk cartridges: KMP pure pigment ink, available at: www.tintenalarm.de and they do ship to the UK.

It is deep black and completely waterproof when dried on paper.

A great find for many other bits and pieces as well

Many thanks

I've heard good things about the KMP inks so I won't get in the way but just to note that I'm reselling the Image Specialists pigment black ink... I just haven't had a chance to get the listing online and available.

... and being in the UK I ship to the UK... I know, it's a shock but try to control yourselves

But I want some KMP pigment black ink in the USA. When is someone going to fill that market?

Talk to Mikling, maybe he could see about feasibility.
