Just how good are OCP's pigment inks?

[jtoolman]

Most of the expereince I have is with Image Specialist pigment inks from Precision Colors, Inkjetfly, inkjetcart.us and whatever inkrepublic sells.

I am blown away by the LOW prices for equivalent volumes sold by OCP ( Rjettek ) in the USA. So before I consider buying anything from them, does anyone have any direct experience with their pigment inks for Epsons? The bit I have read here concerning their inks for Canon but have not seen much regarding their inks for Epson.
I am most interested in inks for the Stylus 2200 and R2400.

Thanks

I suggest you to give it a try: It can be used for your R2400 and your two Pro 3800's as well. I might be interested too, their Canon inks seem to be excellent in colour rendition and fade resistance.

If you have never purchased from them before they will send you a free sample of all the inks for your printer.

I use OCP inks on a R2400 (which I already give back to the original owner) and a Stylus Pro 4800 since more than one year very successfully. My first order of this inks was about 500 ml per color and my next order is 1 Liter per color. In addition I use this inks a Stylus S22 and Office Stylus B42WD without any clogging. I created several profiles for these inks on my printers and I can highly recommend these ink.

For the stylus printers, which originally use Epson Durabrite Ultra ink, and older styls pigmented ink, I tried a few other inks, one from a local ink manufacturer and from the experience with this inks I continue to use OCP inks. I plan to use other OCP inks in my other printer (Canon and Brother) but I want to reduce the number of different inks. From forums in Germany I know that OCP inks for the Epson Claria printers are also recommended by their users. Only for Brother and Canon printer I have no informations from users.

From my testing and observations of the one OCP pigment ink I have tried (Canon black), it was one of the best for not clogging the waste ink pads but it was noticeably not as dark as other pigment black inks.

I totally agree with you, this ink is not as dark as other pigment black, it might not clog the printhead, but I found out that I was having my yellow cart splashed with black after using OCP pigment, and my purge unit look dirtier after I used OCP.
