Re: [Digital BW] Re: Epson P800 blocks refilling: where do we go from here?

2017-06-13 by Brian Parkhurst

I've an SC800 and am nearing the end of a second set of Epson inks. I've just bought a set of Marrutt's refills. I'm due to replace several inks as I print my next exhibition. I'll report back. As my work is archival and tours for up to four years, a long life is essential. Previous prints on Marrutt's Lyson stock have proved good over the last decade alongside K series inks that still look good compared with archival selenium toned, bromide and  chlorobromide  prints made between 1965 and 2005

As I understand it the P800 lock down is limited to the US, so buying a European P800 is an option for some of us (albeit an awkward one if you live in North America).
