Shouldn't it be dye or did I misread your reply? To add to this, we run dye in our older 3800, and pigment with our newer T3270, which comes with pigment based and is still under warranty. The dye based is blacker, but we've had zero exposure problems with the pigment based. I think when my warranty runs out, I'll go to a dye based refillable cart in the T3270.SteveNo, you didn't misread. Dye has always been the preferred ink for film, however, with the so called "waterproof' films, pigment, which is the best type for transfers, does the trick. Therefore, with my printer pulling double duty, pigment it is.

Oddly enough, I called Cobra to inquire about cleaning solution.When I told them what I wanted to do, their suggestion was to put black in all the carts and run 3 cleaning cycles to flush out the colors in the tubes.Is anyone doing that even though only printing from the black cartridge? Now I'm in a bit of a quandary what to do.
