Dye-Pigment compatibility
My printer and old Epson 1200 uses Dye inks, some of the compatible cartridge makers Boast that their cartridges contain pigment ink. Is pigment ink really compatible with a printer designed for dye ink. Thanks Paul |

You should never use pigmented inks in a unit that wasn't designed to take them - you could end up killing the printer! |
