New Epson EcoTank ET-8550 with Epson pigment inks

[razer]

I recently acquired an Ecotank 8550 and I am going to test out the viability of using Epson pigment inks.
I already purchased the Durabrite ET 552 pigment ink set, and I am harvesting Epson pigment inks for the other colors from cartridges.
Wish me luck.

Good luck, I'm interested in your results. As a note for your experiments, the various inks Epson produces differ 'somewhat' in composition. You can find the differences in their safety data sheets.

Yes, based Epson's prolific usage of the print head found in the 8550, I am confident the 542 pigment inks will yield good results. I am not as confident about the photo black and gray pigment inks, as they seem to be only available as Ultrachrome inks.
