PantoneColorVantage K3 Inks for Epson 2400 and others

PantoneColorVantage K3 Inks for Epson 2400 and others

2006-03-01 by davedoughman

Glad to see an alternate ink is available (and 20% less expensive). My
guess is that PrintFix Pro will turn out great profiles with the new ink.

Anyone have experience with the new inks?

Any real worries about Epson's lawsuite on alternate inks?

Yes, PrintFIX PRO will work fine with the Pantone inks...

I've not found any of the Pantone inks to be problematic, in terms of color formulations or clogging, etc... they tend to cost more than other, similar, third party inks (after all, you are paying for the Pantone name); if or when the costs are equivalent to MediaStreet or MIS inks, that would cover my only issue.

Any real worries about Epson's lawsuite on alternate inks?

This issue has taken on an Alice in Wonderland angle, that defies logical prediction; so I won't even attempt to comment.

With all this discussion about alternat inks I would agian like to consider them. There is a lawsuit brought against third party ink manufacturers by Epson. Has there been a change? The PIA of changing is slowing me down.
