OCP K3 ink set: the secret/solution is in the ...magenta !!!

[jtoolman]

Sure I could do that but the problem is that bronzing tends to be variable and very much paper specific.
Gloss differetial is another subject altogether. With both Magentas simply being almost Matte.
Often certain satin papers show more bronzing effect than glossy which one would expect to suffer from a greater level of Bronzing.
You would be creating a test for a specific paper that would not be valid when done on another one.

Today I bought an R2400. Maybe an 3800 will follow soon.
As far as I understand of this topic both run on the same ink.
I looked at the octopus. de website for the ink that Pharmacist is recommending, but I'm not completely sure of the numbers.
So would I go for the OCP ink in the T059 series, except for the magenta wich should be T0343?
And how about the light magenta then, wouldn't it be also better to replace T059-640 for T0345?
Pharmacist did you replace the yellow OCP ink for somemthing else already?
If yes what is your experience there?

I wanted to reoder K2 Ink set for my Epson 4000 Pro modell unfortuneatly they dont have it on stock anymore and as they stated I am not counting that it will return

My refillable cartriges hold 300ml all of them are down to 120~150 ml
Originaly I had ordered 500ml each color only matte black, I bought OEM Catriges for less then 5 each and use OEM Matte black

Basically I need follow colors

Yellow
Magenta
LightMagenta
PhotoBlack
LightBlack
Cyan
LightCyan

LightMagenta and Maganta does have the described color hast and glossy problem

where should i buy them right now?

does K3 OCP inks beside the VM and VLM even work?

So did you ask octopus if they will supply again or is this just a guess?

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
vielen Dank fr Ihre Nachricht an Octopus-Office, Ihrem spezialisierten Grohandel.
Leider sind, bis auf die schwarze Tinte T00026E, keine der Tinten mehr verfgbar. Leider wurde hier kurzfristig von zwei Lieferanten die Produktion eingestellt, weswegen wir die Tinte aus unserem Sortiment nehmen mussten.
Es tut uns Leid das wir Ihnen in diesem Fall nicht weiterhelfen knnen.

Try contacting Promax Imaging in the UK. They also stock and sell OCP inks worldwide, they just don't accept paypal, so you'll have to transfer the money.
