Re: Carbon Inks with R2880

2011-02-27 by Rusty Sterling

OK. I'll leave well enough alone at this point. Guess I'll be doing most of my QTR printing on the R200 -- once I get some issue resolved.

I'll also look around for another wide format printer for B&W only printing with carbon inks.

Thanks everyone.

But there are refillable carts available. So has anybody experimented with refillable carts for PK/MK, LK and LLK using MIS carbon inks and printing in ABW? The logic tells me this could work. What inks should I consider for this if it is possible?
