Very in-depth and yet quick tutorial on inks. The distinction of "Dye" vs "Pigment" is new to me despite having purchased several inkjet printers over the decades. I just purchased my first "EcoTank" printer. I reviewed the documentation for this printer and see no reverence to ink type but from your description of these inks, it seems most likely that these printers use Pigment type ink. Would I be correct in that?
How to unclog cartridge due to mixing of ink (from dye to pigment)? Already tried soaking it on an isoprophyl alcohol as well as warm water yet inks (CYM) are not blending well. Tried deep cleaning too but of no help. From the Philippines
I've had some pigment ink sitting for about 2 months, know if it's any good? I had set up my CISS, but the print head I got from ebay was garbage, thankfully they fully refunded.. but in the mean time, the CISS has been sitting while I've been trying to locate a new print head (found one that ships from the UK, factory sealed brand new oem unit). don't wanna end up with a clog though, should I just trash the old ink and CISS and start fresh? it'll set me back around $200.. but hmm... the ink is from EPSON though, it's the T542 pigments (all color pigment)
Would it work if i refill my canon cartridges (845&846) with pigmented ones? I often use dye inks when refilling, with it be okay if i suddenly change it?
Hi Sir, I was wondering if I can use all pigmented ink in Epson 8550 as I am thinking of buying it and I wont add the dye ink into the cartidge. Also can the Pigment ink provide good vibrant colors for Luster photo paper for pigmented ink 13" x 19" 300 GSM Luster both side.
Hello. I'm interested in an Epson L3250 (Ecotank) and putting pigment ink in all colors and printing landscape photographs in high quality using special papers matte (I have many here from hahnemulle and Canson). What do you think ? Will it be okay? Greetings from Brazil
On special paper probably you'll obtain great colors with pigmented inks so I think your choice is good. Dye based colors make better and softer colors on normal paper
@@viandant5 Appreciate the reply and the info. Do you know a refillable tank inkjet system that uses pigmented ink only? I often print for outdoors, laminating only gets you so far and it would not be very good if the color fades and only the black stays behind. Thanks in advance!
@@viandant5 Thanks for that input, will check out the Epson 3rd party inks, any particular pigment based one that you have tried? In the mean time I also found Canon has a pigment inkjet tank system: e.g. MAXIFY GX6050.
I recently discovered your channel. The absolute best printer information channel on TH-cam. Straight to the point and easy to understand!
Thank you!
Amazing video! So much info while also being concise and easy to understand.
your videos are amazing and I've worked in commercial offset print for 20 years and didn't know a couple things here somehow.
Thank you

Alcohol does nothing, better ammonia. Probably the problem is not the mix. Try these methods th-cam.com/video/p0tm8dNeE2A/w-d-xo.html

Fantastic (pronounced with a thick french accent)!
No, definitely not French. I'd say Italian...
I still can't figure out if the Epson EcoTank inks are dye or pigment based?
the black is pigmented, the colors are dye based

@@kwinzman I think Epson has inks for outdoor, also there are good pigmented inks in alibaba or similar sites

Sound is bad
Dye ink is trash.
