Looking for pigment ink for my inkjet printer in Canada.

Hi All- I use a combination of CIS and refillable spongeless
cartridges for all of my printers, but am running out of pigment ink.
I buy from inksupply.com in the USA, but with shipping and duty, the
ink is not a good price. I dont sell much of my work, so I cannot
afford a ton.

I am also looking for a Canadian company that sells B&W pigment or
dye based ink.

Any help would be appreciated...

I should add that the black in I order for my HP Photosmart 7700 was
labeled as pigment but the coloured inks were not labeled either way.

I have sent off an e-mail asking about different inks. They responded
really fast.

I am waiting to hear back about even more items now- Thanks again.

I would be interested in hearing what they say about the ink. I never
thought to ask those questions.

Check out www.inksupply.com

It is one of the most extensive collections of ink I have found so
far, including instructions on how to refill your own cartridges,
refillable spongeless cartridge and CIS sales.

They even sell B&W ink, which will turn my basic dye based 6 colour
printer into a photo finisher quality archival (pigment) B&W printer
using black, light black, gray and light gray inks. They even support
printer profiles and will electronically make my colour printer
recognize and print with the B&W inks!

Did you read my blurb on the Continuous Ink System (that will change
your life) yet??

OMG! its so exciting!

I print for practically free now!

Not Really.  You do pay a price.

You get lower quality results than OEM

Your prints will fade more quickly

You run a higher risk of a clogged print head

You support vendors who will not tell you what you are buying

If you have a high print load than it may be economically justifiable to use the lower grade ink but do not say you print practically free now because you do not.

No need to get mad at measekite for voicing his opinion. (I am glad he
did)


He does have a point to an extent- There is a difference in quality of
aftermarket inks. I have bought ink from Costco, and it is not as good
as the ink I am currently using (which is made in Japan vs China)

Even if the quality was lower to some degree, (which it is not- I
would love to mail measekite print #3751 from the same printer -which
did not clog- and have him see for himself), and if it did fade
quicker, .17¢ for ink vs $2.17 for the same print ($98 for a set of
cartridges that yield 45~ 8.5X11 prints vs $80 for 10 cartridges worth
of ink in a CIS) makes it worth re-printing again and again if
necessary!

Yes, Maybe I lucked out, but from two different suppliers from Canada
and the US?

I am a lucky guy, I guess (or maybe not- Maybe many companies do sell
quality!)

Rudijock - Saying that people on this NG are mad at Measekite for stating
his opinion is not quite accurate. We are tired of biased, no-experience,
bold faced lies and distortions that he pulls out of the air. I suspect
that you lack a sense of history about our not-so beloved troll. We have
endured his nonsense for at least four years that I know of. I would
definitedly appreciate his opinion if it were based on his own actual
experience with a product. He is certainly qualified to tell us how much he
loves his ip4000 printer and OEM inks, but he has never tried aftermarket
inks and has no experience from which to draw a conclusion to be used for
advice to others.

I do note that your post, while starting out defending his right to have an
opinion, refutes his litany of imagined complaints about aftermarket inks.
A delightful exercise in irony.

Yes, I can see now that the guy is totally out to lunch. Personally, I
choose to live my life according to words my mommy taught me: If you
cant say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

As much as I campaign to help people save money and the environment,
I almost want to start posting for people to to ignore measekite and
treat every post of his as spam. What a friggin idiot.

I am not twisting anyones arm to change the way they buy ink, just
voicing my experience and opinion, and even going as far as saying it
is not for everyone, and if you feel uncomfortable, to not buy
alternative ink- But measekite, being the clown he is is probably
going to jump right in and find something wrong with this post and
have to post his filthy, un-educated two cents worth. I have learned
not to hate, but I have also learned to recognize a fool and to do my
best to discredit him at every opportunity. People should not
consider a word of such people, and it is people like him and spammers
that drive decent folk trying to offer reasonable opinion or learn
from others to administrated forums, so heartless dicks like him can
be booted into cyber space.

I now apologize for not recognizing the demeaning behaviour of this
person before I came to his defense.


measekite- I would ask you to leave if there was hope that you would,
but knowing you wont head this request I have no choice but to bluntly
ask you to **** OFF! What a MORON

He must work for Epson.

He does have a point to an extent-

-------------------------------------------------
He does? Wrong! By his own idiotic admission, he has never ever used any
after market inks.
So just how valuable is his stupid, non-informed opinion?
Zero, nada, nothing...he's a moron loser.
