Printer Ink

The Office Max, et al, stores here in Central FL quit taking the Epson cartridges. Say that the refills they use them for are high return for defects. Those coupons/cards are great however and make the effective price very good. I ordered some cartridges from atlex today for my R1800 and R220. The prices are much better than any other places I have looked at. Thanks for the good tip! Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: Printer Ink
Thanks, Ken. Bob Shell recommended them too. Checked their site and the prices were great, even with shipping, so I ordered a set of cartridges for the R800.

Re: Printer Ink
I haven't found an Office Max in the Milwaukee area that stocks the R800 cartridges but they do (so far) continue to take back any printer cartridge for either a free ream of paper or $3 off any purchase greater that $3. I usually save them to use with the $10 discount cards - I've gotten 3 cards in the last month and it's not too hard to find enough stuff to make a $20 purchase. -P Bob Shell wrote: > On Nov 27, 2006, at 11:31 AM, Kenneth Waller wrote: > >> I've found over the years that they have been consistently cheaper >> for Epson >> inks & papers. >> >> http://www.atlex.com/ >> > > Sometimes Office Max beats them when they send you one of their $ 10 > off coupons.

Somehow I got on their mailing list several times, and usually get two or three of them at a time.

OT -- Epson printer ink
I have an Epson R320 which I really like. Print quality is very nice. It's time once again to buy ink. So far we've been buying the Epson ink cartridges (6 in all) and have been pleased with them. We primarily use 8x10 Epson Premium Luster paper for the stuff we want to hang, and whatever 4x6 or 5x7 paper is cheapest for the snaps that are handed out to family or placed in the scrapbook. I print with black ink only, or occasionally with a bit of yellow for warmth. My wife requires the full range of colors. Any suggestions for alternate inks based on your own experience? -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com -- "You have to hold the button down" -Arnold Newman

Printer ink fails to dry completely for a long time
Hello Bulent and other Friends with a similar problem. I bought some photo paper in Dubai in bulk and pretty cheap. Using a Canon Pixma MG6470 AIO Printer I had the same problem with the Black Ink taking longer to dry. It would smudge and spoil the entire print. This Printer uses two kinds of Black ink Tanks - one Dye Black and the other Pigment Black. I am a Techie and a DIY person and a deep research took me to this conclusion:- a) Some photo papers have a thicker coating on which Ink takes longer to dry. b) Pigment Ink sits longer on paper before it dries - pigments in the Ink are some kind of very fine solid and will not enter the paper structure easily. c) Dye Inks sink into the paper and dry faster. d) Cheaper Bulk Ink from Ali Baba was no better or worse than Canon's original which is 5-times as expensive. I do refilling as DIY fun and they work OK. e) Better Photo Paper dried faster - Matte being better than Glossy - but still the Dye Black Ink took longer to dry. Experiment with quality Photo Paper. f) Bond Letter Paper - 90 to 120 GSM - dried the fastest. Not bad - good print quality. g) A Radiant Heater placed in front of the Prints made them dry almost instantly - Best Solution. Stay safe and Blessed in these Pandemic times. Bipin B.

OT - Printer ink fails to dry completely for a long time.
I used to have an Epson Stylus Photo Inkjet Printer (Probably R2880) which was using Ultrachrome K3 ink set. The print quality, even on common garden papers, was above my expectations and I had no problems ever when it was operational. Due entirely to my long neglect, clogging problem killed that printer. Now I have an Epson L805, a simpler and cheaper model with a cheaper (read, lower quality) ink set (EcoTank). I have quite a stock of inkjet printing paper (mostly Kodak, labelled as premium, ultra etc). Unfortunately, my recent L805 ink set (especially the dark tones) is notoriusly late to dry. A fairly dark print takes more than a week to dry. Even then, if you put a glass on top, there are little foci that stick (or, if you press some plain paper on the image you still see a few ink droplets transferred to the paper). Original Epson inkjet papers are very expensive and practically unavailable. There is only the A3 size (not suitable for my L805) and it is sold for about 3 dollars each. I guess there should be no ink drying problem if one can use those. Now, here is my question: Can I do anything "after printing to an ordinary inkjet photo paper" to make it dry quicker AND completely without damaging the image? Would sunlight or heat or wind or ... work? By the way, the printer accepts a command to print on a no-name card and uses somewhat less ink for that (on the premise that it may not absorb the ink well). So, there is practically nothing I can do "before" printing. Comments and help appreciated.

Re: Printer ink fails to dry completely for a long time
Bipin, Thank you for sharing your experience and advice. My inks are declared to be pigment type and understand that this might have something to do with my problem. I think I will be looking for different papers first. While refilling, I will certainly consider non-Epson ones as well. >A Radiant Heater placed in front of the Prints made them dry almost instantly I doubt mine will but will try this soon.

Re: OT - Printer ink fails to dry completely for a long time.
I vaguely remember that instructions for some inkjet photo printer or photo papers suggested to let the prints dry for 24 hours. With R2880, I am also spoiled, and not waiting for long, if at all.
