Ink For Canon Pixma MP630

[guysmiley999]

Hi,

I am trying to determine the best ink for my Canon Pixma MP630. I have previously tried ink from MIS (it's unclear to me whether this was Image Specialists ink or not). What I found with the MIS inks is that the colours were very good, but the greyscale (e.g. black & white photos) came out very green looking compared to the genuine Canon ink . I'm a bit of a novice, so haven't mucked around with colour profiles etc.

Has anyone else experienced this with with greyscale printing with non-OEM inks?

What's inks whould you recommend? I really want something that I don't have to mess about with custom colour profiles.

I am tempted to give Image Specialists (from Precision Color) a try as price and shipping are very affordable (I am in New Zealand).

Thanks

I suspect, although I could be wrong that the inks you got from MIS are Image Specialists but Mike at Precision Colors knows his stuff and will certainly be able to help, even if it is by convincing you to do a little profiling

I sell the same stuff but as Mike is closer and more up to speed on the profiling aspect he's definitely worth a nudge to see what he can do to help.

I bought MIS through a a reseller in Australia and when I queried him (after the fact) about whether they were Image Specialists ink he came back to me that MIS make their own ink, and referred me to a different place if I wanted Image Specialists ink. MIS definitely do sell Image Specialists ink, but I'm wondering if they also sell their own ink as well? Or maybe my supplier was misinformed?

Hi Smiley
I use Inktec inks from www.bizco.com.au. and they seem to be pretty good as a lot of people have confirmed on this forum. I dont know if they ship to NZ but you can always ask. If you should ever try some then let me know how they compare to the ones you are using.
