Compatible ink for mx860

[juntheking]

I've looked around but couldn't find any definite answers. Can I use hobbicolor's uw-8 or Precisioncolor's IS ink for mx850 (PGI-5bk and CLI-8)? The MX860 uses CLI-221 Black and Color and PGI-221 Black cartridges.

Hi Juntheking,

Definitely you can use Hobbicolors UW-8 in your PGI-220/CLI-221 cartridges, however the colours can be a bit off. If you want colour match I would suggest you to buy the latest Inktec PGI-520/CLI-521 inkset, which seems to have a very good fade resistance.

I'm having trouble finding where to buy the refill kits for the mx860 from inktec...could you please direct me to a distributor? Thank You

In the USA you can buy Inktec inks in small syringes (ready for a needle) from:

Do not buy their cartridges as they usually are not inktec.
