Best source we found is http://www.refillhouse.com/index.php?route=common/home A Taiwanese supplier we've used for two years at least, in our Designjet. We refill a HP cart, but you need two. When you empty one you must put in another empty one, then you can put back the first so as the...

We have used http://www.refillhouse.com/index.php?route=common/home for two or three years with no problems Their magictube refill kit is faultless and they are in Taiwan. We use pigment ink in a HP Designjet using pigment in dye ink head. No problem there either.

Graffiti artists report that the latest auto clear coats that can be found in spray cans are the best, latest protection for images.

The actual environmental character of the display environment is not the relevant item for us. It's the comparison with an OEM product against a test product. The more fierce the environment, the better. The result we look for is merely how third party ink looks after a few weeks compared with...

Using high end lab equipment- spectrphotometers etc, material data sheets, and sources (British Chemical Society etc) and best sources of pigments like BASF, it isn't hard to formulate a passable piggment ink At least one US based maker has mastered the encapsulation technique. There's daylight...

I vote this post as probably the most useful ever.

Find a good Materials Testing lab and get accellerated testing on multiple samples. It won't tell you the absolute life on inks but they can tell you the relative differences, and which is best.

We've been running these pigments through our Designjet for well over a year. No problems at all. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32970178516.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.21.3609343df6I5Zo

I use an HP Designjet T120 that is made with color dye inks and B & W pigment.. I use pigment inks in all the carts and have done so for well over a year. Zero problems. I took the chance due to cheap print heads and the black already being pigment. I use Qimage and its test sheet scheduler.

We had great success using our Canon ipf6100 We printed the image on thin timber veneer which was then adhered to 10mm hard board. The ipf's no longer have a straight thru opening but other brands do. The secret is to use veneer which is about as thick as the thicker photo papers. Pigment ink...

For what it's worth, we are running an HP T120 and using Chinese pigment cartridges from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32863079920.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.25.43a713b6gfMBcQ We've been using these carts for two years with no problems. Somewhere on their site they use the phrase...

It's a profile making app and costs $75US. http://www.ddisoftware.com/prism/ordering.htm

Part of the secret of getting good B&W is to use a paper setting that allows printing in grayscale. I use polypropylene satin. On the "color" tab set "Print in Grayscale". Also set "Printer managed colors". Then go to the "Paper/Quality" tab and meke sure you have set for "Cusom Options"...

At your price of "A$1,600" I assume you are in Australia. If so, "Officeworks" have it at AU$994. Others charge more.

Printheads if needed are low cost for a T120 and very easy to replace. I'd buy at 50% of new price which would be about US$450. Remember, it is a dye printer when new and is unlikely to have clogged up.

"Genuine and authoritative third party" I think is self explanatory. If such an enterprise decided to sell inkjet color products that equal or better the gamut and longevity of existing Canon, HP or Epson inks at a lower price, well many would buy. Solid color inks is good research - they are...

Maybe we will see a genuine and authoritative third party supplier of inks, matching the big three in longevity?

For do-it-yourself testing use a comparative approach. By that I mean, pick an image printed with the best OEM pigment inks (HP Vivera) you can get and a another with the best OEM dyes (Canon Chromalux) and then print with your own sample. Find a good light source and put all three under it...

I think what you are doing is similar to dye sublimation printing, (known as "Dyesub"). The applicable forum for that is at https://www.dyesubforum.co.uk/vbforum/forum.php
