Re: OT: What MIS Color Inks for use in an Epson R200 or R300 series printer?

2005-12-06 by Bob Michaels

I'm really sold on the MIP PRO pigment color inks for color photos.
They do require a custom printer profile but they make prints as good
as anything I've seen. 

But if you are doing cards and notes where archivalness and exact
color balance is critical, I'd suggest using cheap dye ink. I used the
MIS $5 Chinese carts for uses such as this. What can you say, they
work, colors are bright and they cost $5.
