Formulab -- Sensient available someplace, now?

[vtjet]

Now that Alotofthings is gone, is there any other source for Formulabs / Sensient inks?

I used them for years in my Canon S600 and it's still going strong -- with pretty heavy usage. Color rendition was very good for a non OEM ink. I'd like to stick with it.

Failing that I'd like to decide on a long term brand, so a few questions:

Does anybody know what kind of ink Macro Enter is selling?

Is Hobbycolor a re-labeled ink?

Any good URLs for visual comparisons of the ink colors and fade tests?

I've already seen this one:

Just wondering if there are others.

Thanks in advance!

Rick Wallin at Sensient says he will sell direct. Smallest quantity package in any individual color is 1 liter, but even if you can't use it all before it "goes bad" (don't know how one would really tell) the price per litre is $15-20 (as I recall)...not much more than one OEM cart.

Here is a link to Rick's posting on this forum, complete with contact info http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3705&p=2
