Should we get laser printer with integrated drum or seperated drum? How can we know if it's integrated or seperate?

Shhhh!! It's a "top-secret" in my country! Luckily you're not in Vietnam, else police gonna visit your house. What you've said is one among many obstacles prevent us from trading with the outside world. Some of my friends report having their goods lost during the customs entrance, being...

Oh yeah! So the OEM definitely can disable the use of ARC and/or refilled cartridge if they really want to!

Hi ThrillaMozilla, I know that there's no oil-based ink for inkjet printers. However, the problem here from where I live is the sellers sell many kinds of ink for inkjet, large format printer, printing press printer, etc (dye, pigmented, pigmented uv - don't know what it is, ink for offset...

Is there any simple test we can do to tell if one pigmented ink is oil-based or water-based? The place I live people confuse others between pigmented and oil-based. I want to buy water-based pigmented ink for my HP. Some call it 'pigmented' and some call it oil-based ink.

In my country, things get completely in reverse! :D It's very hard to find a ColorLoK paper (the real one, not the "chinese" fake one which are ubiquitous in my country simply because China sits next door...). All 90% A4 plain paper found in a random store is a normal one.

I read somewhere in this forum saying that dye and pigmented should not be mixed. So adding a dye black to a pigmented black is ok? If yes, how to do that exactly? (I mean the number, percent...)

In my country nobody import the pigmented ink for HP because everyone go for Epson!!, just dye for everything. So I think I'll have to stick with dye...Although I want pigmented >.<

Will A4 80gsm enough for double-side printing? Or may need higher like 90 or even 100gsm?? (Actually in my country they only sell 70gsm and 80gsm A4 paper of PaperOne, IK APlus and some no-name).

Many thanks!! Based on the picture I also see barely no different accept some "stuff" (sorry my English is bad that I don't know the word to describe) in the back of the paper. The reason I ask for this is that I'm refilling my HP564 pigment black cartridge but...well many problems arise...

It much depends on what you print: print text only then of course pigmented black and maybe cyan,... I'm living in Vietnam and I have much more problem than you trying to find ink specific for HP. Epson's everywhere....

Could anyone post an image of a sample text printout using dye black ink?? Just wanna see before make decision...

anyone please?? I can see the purge ink pad but cannot pull it out by hand, seem like it's locked.

Yes, I'm sorry to post in a (very) outdated thread! Hoping...

Can you post a image for example of "a very black "black" and sometimes it looks very wet" and "blacker than black"?? I just want to see it and wonder would it be acceptable, since I'm gonna refill mine with dye black ink as you. PS: I print double side, music notation.

For the same set of features, HP is cheaper compared to an Epson printer. I comfirm that Epson is a prefer when combine with a CISS, because of its printhead tech. Pigmented ink with CISS is possible BUT with some further efforts that might be very... Downside of Epson? Lower res, comsume a...

Wao! It's interesting to know that dye ink is invisible in infra-red wavelength and pigmented isn't. Could anyone explain?

If I put dye ink to a pigmented ink cartridge (mine is HP564), in what case or what circumstance will it leak? How to prevent it? (Will underfilling help in this case?)

But the dye ink CMY works okay. Only the pigmented black ink cannot. Can anyone explain?? P/S: My printhead is 13pl for pigmented black and 2pl for dye colours. I don't see any Epson use as large as 13pl, so InkTec for Epson should be able to flow through the head of 13pl? As for the different...

BTW, kist one stupid question: is there any circumstance when dye ink has lower viscosity than pigment? I think pigment should always has higher viscosity than any dye, since they are much thichker!
