Druckerchannel test of ink for the new Canon cartridges

[floK]

@martin0reg: thank you for sharing your experience, I understand now that there is not "the best inks", but some almost equally good/ bad ones, that I have to try by myself to see with which I can manage to have better results. It sounds more relaxing to me!

The good Ink suppliers have tested all of the new 3rd party inks available for the 550/551 range to see which ones preforms the best and will work properly and safely in these machines.

Yes, this is the answer I expected!

The KMP black pigment ink is specially formulated to work in desktop printers along side the dye inks, however this ink is not for use in the Pro pigment printer models

That's very interesting!

good luck..

As TheHat already mentioned: the ink for canon "text black" is a special sort of pigment, not like photo black pigment. It seems to be more like a matte black...
.. but note:

... not all inks are the same, for instance, don’t ever try Epson inks in a Canon printer..

PS: as I was asked, here is a german supplier who offers KMP text black in 1-litre-bottles:
https://www.tintenalarm.de/1-liter-...pgi-520bk-pgi-525pgbk-pgi-550pgbk-p-5659.html
...the seller claims "CS" (on the label) would be the manufacturer of KMP ink... I did not try it yet, because I need smaller amounts..

Thank you, @martin0reg! I asked on PM only because I wasn't sure that you will see my post here.

@floK, by placing the @ in front of a members name like you did above here, " @martin0reg " then that member will see your post..

Oh, thanks @The Hat, I didn't know this!
