If the mix is of pigment and dye ink is not possible, then how about mixing the pigment from different brand to save cost? I saw someone suggested for better coloring by converting to: channel 1: matte black channel 2: photo black channel 3: grey light black channel 4: cyan channel 5: vivid magenta channel 6: yellow How will this possible?
I would be really appreciated if you can guide me to how mixing. Thanks in advance. S: One way to save cost for me now is I can use roll paper from offset printing with pigment ink so I can cut some cost.
Hi Sampheap, you have conteacted me directly per mail before. I use OCP Brand inks for my printer armada not as much as jtoolman I pay 25 to 40 per ml for the ink. It is been always the same, good quality with no flaws inbeetween diffent batches of production.
Transfering an 6 color based printer epson dye printer into an 6 channel pigmented ink machine is no magic at all BUT changing it into a K3 workhog as you described I guess pharamacist came up with the Idea is a whole other story: you will need a rip software that is capeable of overriding the printers chanells individually.
So basicaly two channels are printing the whole IMAGE whit the White base coating first, then let it dry for up to a minute and then starting the real "color" printing itself. This whole procedure is not just simple steps for the software. My Epson Stylus Photo R similar to the P50 but only supports the Small cartriges with "hummingbird" not the "owl" cartriges profiled with Inktek dye inks on cheap g A4 Sheets produces astonnishing pictures and I even use it for proofing issues that my clients want.
Image is practicaly the same that i have on display. Click to expand So Colormunki Photo can calibrate both the monitor and profile our printer? Their dye Light Cyan is much denser compared to the normal Cyan than what their pigment equivalents are. Armed with the knowledge of which ink performs best for each circumstance, you should now be better prepared to select the ink type that will deliver the greatest outcomes. If you find yourself printing photos and colour dominant documents, pigment ink will afford you a more vibrant palette.
Conversely, longer-lasting text-based documents are best suited when printed with dye-based ink. Remember though, ink technology has significantly improved over the years and you will likely find that your printer uses a combination of pigment-based ink and dye-based inks. Therefore, we would not be too concerned should you have not read this article before purchasing your ink type.

Do you know where in AUstralia I could source the pigment one. Cheers Tracey. All of the major brands like Canon, Epson and HP use both dye and pigment-based inks. Canon inks that start with PG in their product numbers are typically pigment-based, while Epson uses pigment-based inks in their higher-end photo printers.

Pigment Vs Dye Ink Summary: To the naked eye, you would be forgiven for thinking there was little difference between pigment and dye-based inks.
Pigment ink delivers longevity. Pigment ink is better prepared for sunlight. Pigment ink works better with glossy paper. Pigment ink has less smudging potential. Dye ink produces vibrant colours.
Dye ink is cheaper than pigment ink. What is pigment ink? What is dye ink? Difference between pigment and dye ink? Thanks, Dana. Pretty much what I thought. I suspect there is some mixing of the Epson and Conecolor inks as they filter into the system.
I will keep creating color profiles now and then until things get stable. My understanding is that pigment inks are solids that are finely ground usually acrylics mixed with an emulsifier in a water based carrier. Dyes are salts dissolved in a water base aniline dyes?
From my woodworking experience, stains can be either pigments or dyes. If the carrier is compatible there is no problem mixing them, but you get a mess if you mix oil based pigments with water based dyes. Home use printers use water based inks. I don't understand the problem in mixing dyes and pigments if they are water based.
I don't see any problem in using dyes in a printer designed for pigments. I can see a problem in using pigments in a printhead designed for dyes. Why the caution about mixing dyes and pigments?
The only choice you offer is pigmented black. An interesting hypothesis. One problem is that CY and M ink will not produce black. It is not within its color gamut. The darkest color CYM can produce is a dark muddy gray.
I looked at the result under a microscope. So at least on my i black ink is used to print dark colors in photo mode. An examination of dark areas on a photograph shows a mix of colored and black dots.
This is true for either photo mode or plain paper mode. A received an answer within hours even though it was Saturday. The issue of mixing inks was ignored, but they stated that the black ink is pigmented and the color ink is dye.
Very good tech support from Canon. My i produces very nice prints using Canon pigmented black or dye based black ink. I can't see any difference. My conclusion is that on the i using a mix of dye and pigmented ink is not a problem. Maybe it is because of the small dot size that not much mixing takes place. It is an option for me, but using dye ink does nor appear to give any different results. I think he fully explains the i black ink issue.
