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.

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

and many more

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.

The information is freely available on my sites and that of JetTec. Look in
my shopping cart under the latest C64/C84.
The patented JetTec chip solution took over a year to develop and releases
safely the 30% of ink left in a cartridge.
Which naturally raises the issue that maybe Epson cartridges have 30% left
when they signal empty.
Yianni - most of your comments are ever so slightly biased and frankly Greek
to me. I ship Worldwide and do roughly 40% of my business to Europe
(including Greece and Spain) and a whole lot more to the USA.
As to other probably competing maybe ? JetTec dealers. I can't answer for
them or really comment as my relationship is fine. But that may depend on
turnover, prompt payment and other factors.
It is equally not under my control who reads Newsgroups they all deserve to
be educated.
It is after all a free anarchic Internet World Yianni, which you proved by
promising to "Bring my door down?" Do they do that a lot where you live? Or
is there a shortage of doors?

I know that epson cartridges contain more ink but the printer uses a part of
it. E.g. oem C70 cartridges contain 17ml, but the printer uses about 11ml.
Jettec chips reset themselves to 30%, when they reach at "low of ink" level.
But... this don't mean 30% more ink! I estimate merely about 15-20% more
ink. First of all, the chip resetting to 30% happens when at "low of ink",
not at the "out of ink" level. Then the additional cleaning cycle consumes
ink from the whole set of the cartridges in the printer. This leads to a
15-20% more ink.
On the other hand jettec bci-3 cartridges don't have a 30% more page yield,
just they contain 30% more ink! I don't have measurements, but an expert in
inkjets reported same page yield as the oem bci-3 !
That's why I ask about...
