Very specific question.
Can anyone offer an opinion about the quality of Jettec pigment inks for use in an R1800? Or advise another good quality 3rd party ink? I tried some Pro-Jet ink and its low price seems to equal low quality.
Epson inks are very high cost bought by the cassette and I don't yet have £300 for a continuous ink system! And continuous systems seem to be 3rd party inks anyhow.
Cheers

Jettec inks in our Epson 950 managed to leak and ruin the printer. They are about the best quality third party make, but there is still a big risk. I would stick to Permajet, Lysonic etc. Are you sure that a CIS for R1800 will cost you £300? Seems a lot to me. They are usually £150-200.

Got the price from the Nova site. Checked other sites later and a Lyson system is advertised at £200 complete with 125ml bottles of ink which on reflection seems an OK price if they work properly.

Lyson is the best - seriously. They work. They are the industry benchmark.

I have the Epson 800. Owing to the cost of the original inks.
I have not used it for a year, I send them down the line to Bonus print to have them printed.
If I had this lysonic system, would the results be has good as the original inks, and I wonder if the cartridges
are now so blocked up that they can't be cleared.

Anyone know the answers?

Thanks.

Ralph.

Lysonic do a cleaning cartridge which you can use to flush the system out if you want to leave it unused for a while. Epson don't.

Thanks David.

Are they located in the UK?

Lyson are a UK company but sell worldwide. Their inks are well represented in the USA especially. Just Google for Lyson inks or Lysonic inks.
