I agree with Mrs. Maggot http://www.inkforinkjet.co.uk gives great, really fast, service and the inks are superb. Ken is the most helpful and knowledgeable guy you'll find anywhere.

I absolutely agree with Ray and MM. Ken's an Epson engineer and an ink chemist of many years so he knows his stuff inside out. He'll also dial into your system and install his custom profile if you're using his inks and the results are superb. Cost is about £50 ex vat per litre. I can fill up a set of 4 cmyk 700ml refillable Epson sct-3200 carts for £200 with 300ml of each colour left over. :biggrin:

By comparison, Sawgrass and Sublisplash are around £200 give or take for a set of 4 cmyk 70ml carts. And no free custom ICC profile.

One important thing to take into account when using 3rd party inks, it voids any warranty on your printer.

Putting Sublimation ink into any Epson will void the warrenty anyway, so you might as well save money while doing it.

Getting a free profile is worth having.

For the money you can save getting decent brand bulk ink, you can easily afford to get your own profiling kit, and make as many ICC profiles as product types you make.
