German Ink ??

[Geoff69]

Hey guys, i just recently bought some ink off fleebay for my pro-100.. it comes
from Germany, website is www.topink24.de now i wonder if any of you guys have
used it, and what you think ?
When this arrived it came with German instructions, so i dont know a lot about it..
where should i store the ink in the fridge, or is that to cold for it ?

I have also bought some PC ink, so i can compare the two, i'll let you know the results..

there are no real strict storage requirements for ink - just don't put it into a hot place, keep them cool and avoid sun if the bottles are transparent, a fridge wouldn't be necessary.
I know that company by name but never bought ink from them, I'm just irritated by their statement that Inktec inks provide good UV stability - I cannot confirm that from my experience.

I store my ink in my basement and I've only used PC's ink.

Did you get a chance to compare the inks? From the looks of the cartridges, they look like they are ready to use out the box - just fill a print.

Did you try the ink @Geoff69

Hi @Geoff69

Inktec are not German inks.
Inktec inks are made in Korea.

After issues with Sudhaus inks (blue cast) and Image Specialists inks from OctoInkjet (green cast) (see https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/green-cast-on-photo-prints.11081/), I ordered in april this year Inktec inks from Tintenkammer for my MG5150 printer (using 525/526 cartridges).

With Inktec inks, I only can see a light drift to yellow, simply resolved by adding 10% water in the yellow ink bottle, no need to apply corrections in the driver settings !

Of all the inks I tested (Sudhaus, Image Specialist, Octopus), Inktec inks produce the best colour match, in my case of course.

Anyway, I recommend not ordering Sudhaus inks . . .

I hope you added distilled water

Correcting the color can be done in the printer driver also.
This will be OK for office work.

A perfect color match from 3th party inks is asked too much IMO.
Only when you print your photos with Canon ink on Canon paper the colours will be correct.
Chances are that you also found a less costly paper.
In that case you need a profile, and differences in ink are corrected altogether.

I consumed at least 1,5l of Sudhaus/Prodinks ink without any problems that could not occur with other brands also.
Some information could raise doubts about the continuity, but I do not know more about it.
