My Epson C84 is getting low on ink. I plan to use SSC service utility
to freeze the levels and then just refill when printing starts showing
problems.

I'd like to stick with Durabright ink. Does anyone sell it other then
Epson? Is there a generic Durabright ink?

The JetTec Lighfast pigmented inks are designed to give superior results on
all media being fast drying and optimised for Photo printing.
They have just been produced today : The E89 Black (TO44140) contains 13ml
of ink compared to the standard Epson which is rated as 8ml.
The C/M/Y E89 C/M/Y (TO44240/340/440) just the same. Black is £6.79 Colours
£5.82 with a Save-A-Bundle coming in at £23.00...
They could be on site by tomorrow.
For customers not aware of the inherent confusion of the Epson cartridges.
The standard is said to contain 8ml of ink . The higher capacity is claimed
to contain 13ml. The C64 will only accept the middle 13ml type size. The C84
will accept the Black higher capacity of 30 ml.

JetTec compatible cartridges are already fitted with the patent pending 30%
extra life chips. This gives 30% extra printing for the standard Epson Black
and an astonishing 100% more life than the standard (8ml) Epson OEM colour.
The European models are the C64 and C84. In Asia and S-America the
equivalents are the C63 and C83 and have an Asia regional code on the
cartridge. They are at it again Nuff said. And some compatibles are being
sold with typically dye based inks and give poor lighfastness.

BAD idea----You do not want the ink to actually run dry. I would
simply refill the carts when they indicate empty and reset the chip at
that time.

Durabright is a brand name as is "Ultrabright". I have read that the
two are similar, but never confirmed this. Basically, there are two
types of ink: Dye and Pigment. Wthin the Pigment type, certain
inks--eg Durabright--are formulated to work on glossy paper.

Read more at some of the major vendor sites:

MIS (www.inksupply.com) (my current favorite)
Mediastreet
Lyson

and many more

If you just want the ink for the Epson C84 (and any other Epson
durabright - otherwise called pigmented ink) then try
www.printerowners.co.uk/specialityinks.htm. The pigmented inks are
available online for the C84 and others.

Offering useful advice and pitching as you put it are unfortunately
unseperably intertwined if you think about it. I cannot comment on other
inks unless I've tested them, but when tested the comparisons are naturally
with a base line I know, then I can guide questioners in the right direction
based on our users comments and satisfaction.
Very unfortunately I feel the internet allows lurkers and trolls to throw
comments and run.

Tony, for sure you use this ng mainly for advetising. This is acceptable if
you reply to *certain* demands from UK users, but not from international
users.

On the other hand you add very little to technical issuses. To aprove it, I
will ask you something for *your* products you advertise... How many ml of
ink does a Jettec compatible BCI-3 contain? How many ml does a oem bci-3
contain? But the most significant question is how many ml's does a printer
consume from both above cartridges? To simplify the question you can answer
in gramms too. In the past you compare jettec's bci-3 with oem, in the
aspect of content.

The same question for the Epson C64/84 inks, you stated -in your email
signature- that jettec's contains 30% more ink!!! Do you have informations?

By what I understand from the info Jet Tec sends us at work, there isn't really
30% more ink in the cartridges. Their design merely allows you to use most of
the ink that is contained in the cartridge.
We do have a trade account with Jet Tec, but we purchase very little from them
as they have proved to be an unreliable firm to deal with. Wrong / short
deliveries, wrong prices invoiced, a nightmare to get credit notes.
Much better suppliers also have great ink.
