Re: [Digital BW] Canadian supplier for MIS VM inks ?

2003-03-07 by dsmithhfx

Treckhall has a $100 min. order. vistek.ca deals Ilford Galerie 
papers though you have to search on the name to turn them up (and 
they may not have them in stock). I'm convinced the UPS "brokerage 
fee" is a scam since others (USPS, FedEx) don't seem to requirer it. 
You're right, FE is expensive but not tear-your-hair-out expensive 
like UPS.

Gerry Gray of inkrefill.ca sells MIS color dye ink under his own 
brand name substantially cheaper (Can.$54 vs. inksupply's U.S.$48), 
along with the reset software withdrawn by inksupply.com, but does 
not currently have the archival color, or quad/hextones. IIRC he 
mentioned he might start selling the quad/hextones in future.
