Re: UK B&W Printers, CISS and Inks

2011-09-09 by Adrian Joyner

Since you have addressed the question to a Black and White group I presume
you are considering mono inks. Also since you mention a CIS I'll assume that
you are thinking about a  smaller format A3+ printer rather than large
format. I am also making the assumption that you are looking for high
quality output.

 

On that basis and without hesitation I would advise that Piezography inks
using refillable cartridges with any of the supported Epson printers would
be my recommendation. www.inkjetmall.com  The quality of the output both in
matte and gloss is astonishing and IMHO easily surpasses anything that you
can get from ABW, ImagePrint or QTR with colour inks.  You do have to buy
from the US but Inkjetmall make it pretty painless. (apart from the cost)

 

Unless you are printing a lot and frequently I would avoid a CIS. In my
experience refillable cartridges are now the more reliable and the filling
process is very easy. The ability to swop cartridges easily also encourages
experimentation with different tones or splits  of inks.
