Title: 4800 3rd party ink experience
Post by: natas on January 06, 2009, 12:16:21 pm

I was wondering if anyone here had experience with 3rd party inks for the 4800? The only 3rd party inks for this printer I have found are the MIS K4 inks. What I am concerned about is ink clogs, print life and of course the actual output.

There is a relatively new, and credible alternative worth looking at. . .

I've been using MIS Pro in a 2200 for a couple of years. I seem to clog more often than I recall with OEM inks, but my dry winters are a challenge for any inkset (25% relative humidity indoors). The cost savings is significant and the added bonus is that I can do a reasonable job on gloss, which was never possible with 2200 OEM inks.

I enjoy using Cone Piezography K7 inks for my black and white work and if I were in the market for bulk colour I would seriously consider Cone's colour solution.

Best wishes in making your decision.

Terry.

Wow the initial cost for the cone color is pretty high. They also claim no profiling needed. I wonder if anyone here uses this system and can say that the colors look identical.
