Ink supply issues for P800

[Benny Profane]

Just noticed that I could use some black cartridges before starting a printing session with some new travel pics, went to B&H, my usual and very reliable go to for supplies, and those inks are out of stock, and may be for a few weeks at least. Hmmm. Maybe related to the chip shortage, since each one has a little chip in there? Or just stuck on boats somewhere?

Anybody recommend another supplier?

Epson seems to have inks but other suppliers, very short (one told me, end of February).

They did allow me to put Photo Black in the cart, so it seems that's one resource. Matt Black, out of stock.

This is not getting better. Too bad, winter is when I retreat to the studio. Hope it's resolved soon.

itsupplies.com, formerly atlex.com, has been a reliable source for ink and paper. They had one of the Epson 3880 inks I needed when B&H was out of stock.

Eh, thanks, but, nope. I mean, there's a direct link to Epson above, and they are out of matte black and now some others as this rolls on. Damn pandemic. At least we're still alive.

B&H now in stock with matte black.
