Best Inks & Paper

Postby stubbsy on Fri Oct 14, 2005 2:32 pm

Some of you will have seen this, but it's an interesting read even though some of the details relate to America only (eg suppliers and prices)

Don't worry about it too much!
Get the inkjet CIS (Continuous Ink Supplies) as I showed it to you last week after the meet.

I still want to see how the Stuby Preasure Continou Inking System inks handle really good paper.

I've found unbranded inks to essentially bounce right off, but I have no idea if these will or not.

How can Stuby Preasure be a bad thing :lol:

For those who didn't see it Leigh has a photo somewhere (hint) and it's a continuous inking system for Epson printers that birdy is evaluating.

Pepsi blue of course. Naturally it's quite toxic and not fit for human consumption! :!: :shock:

Which explains why PepsiCo pulled it from the shelves around 3-4 weeks after being introduced here. :lol:

Unfortunately, now we have "tropical Pepsi" (when will they learn)...

Well, not fit for human consumption is right, but if you remember "The Madness Of King George", then you'll recall what the blue liquid is. :)

While I dont care much for pepsi blue....

can the coke be replaced with Pepsi... I believe we would have much better results after printing! :D

On a serious note... I would be very interested to see what the results from this unit are like and then see if theres a canon i9950 version
