Thought I'd put it out on here in case someone wanted 1 litre (+/- 10ml) of OCP BKP49 ink that I sourced from Promax Imaging back in January.

I bought the stuff to test out a theory regarding the ink I was using in the K550, but managed to resolve the problem before I had a chance to use this ink so it's sitting un-used and unwanted in a bottle.

If anyone wants to make an offer, I paid 29 for the lot but would settle for 25 or a reasonable offer if someone can take it off my hands...


Note: I use Image Specialists myself so I don't want to be mixing, hence the offer.

That price 29 i quite expensive, I was offered 1 Litre bottle for 9Euro after I said the price must be wrong (stupid me) they agreed to sell it for 19 Euros. The ink is not bad. That' official distributor here in europe.

Prices seem so strange. I wonder how much does it really cost.

You serious?!! I got mine from Promax Imaging as I said and they charged me the "standard rate" as I don't buy X amount a month from them...

19 Euro's seems unlikely as hell here in the UK but then I don't usually buy OCP... Perhaps I'm better off just ebaying it :(

1 L rašalo butelis (means 1 Liter bottle ) 26Euro I myself quoted price and was told price is 19Euro like I said a few months back.

I myself used to buy InkTec for 35Euro liter bottle. It seemed strange that price was that low and they claimed OCP is better quality then InkTec ink. I have 1 bottles of Light Cyan from OCP and can't say the same. InkTec sticks to paper better swellable that is.

Then again if you inquire another local company I was told that there is special ink for 3eBK type cartridges that is made by InkTec and is way more expensive after searching on InkTec site code numbers confirmed there is not such thing.

So the local company sells overprices ink as "Better" version. I doubt they do not know it. They just play stupid.
Stupid me I should have bought that ink for 9Euro, but then again I was told to bring my own empty bottle as they did not have any at the moment.

Ah... of course, I forgot... Pigment Black ink is more expensive.. if this was C, LC, M, LM, or Y dyebase ink it would definitely be cheaper.
