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.

There used to be hot-air and infrared dryers for RC photo paper in the days of analog photography. One example would be the Kaiser 4022 (3ßx40 cm).

Somehow I got on their mailing list several times, and usually get two or three of them at a time. Only one per transaction , they say, but I can have someone go in with me and buy part of what I want and use another. > 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! Glad to spread the word. I also have bought Epson paper from them. Great service. I usually have my stuff in two or three days with standard shipping.

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.

You can take back your empty ink cartridges and they will knock $ 3 each off the price. Most of the time Atlex wins, but when I get the coupon I go to Office Max with all my old cartridges.

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. Thanks again. -P Kenneth Waller wrote: > I've found over the years that they have been consistently cheaper for Epson > inks & papers. > > http://www.atlex.com/ > > Kenneth Waller > > - Original Message - > From: "Paul Sorenson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Printer Ink > > >> Those of you in the US who buy Epson ink on-line - where have you found >> the best price/service? >> >> TIA >> >> -P >> >> >> -- >> PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List >> PDML@pdml.net >> http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: Printer Ink
I've found over the years that they have been consistently cheaper for Epson inks & papers. http://www.atlex.com/ Kenneth Waller - Original Message - From: "Paul Sorenson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Printer Ink > Those of you in the US who buy Epson ink on-line - where have you found > the best price/service? > > TIA > > -P > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
