>> the ink I tried is from Oliser and Pigmented, as for the canon OEM black >You might try: >http://www.inknstuff.com Thanks for the tip. There I found a very interesting article about pigmented inks, really worth to take a look at! (specially at the end) http://inkcityusa.com/epson_durabrite_inks.htm Seems there is no reason a Canon, Lexmark or HP cannot use pigmented inks. It's just a matter of getting the right one... Canon uses the black pigmented anyway. How could the printer tell if it's another color? The trick may be the other ingredients (like carrier, fixer, etc) when 'cured'. Perhaps it is the actual yellow or magenta 'powder' in the ink that fuses and sticks to the copper. Black is carbon that doesn't fuse or stick by itself to the copper when heated, and the rest of ingredients are soluble. That would explain why Durabright black has been useless till now. interesting to follow up... ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?
