black ink for inkjet films

[Sbrem]

Hey all, I need a new brand of ink for my 1400. My last batch from inksupply.com was bad, and for some reason, they aren't responding quickly enough to my liking, so I need a new source. I use Ulano and Fixxons waterproof films; the ink should be a dye base, and thanks.

I only have experience with their Pigment stuff, but I use these guys.

I believe that Pierre uses the ink from Chomaline

Check out Accuink from Chromaline.  Costs a hundo per jumbo cart for the 4800 but, dang, it's worth the price jump.  Darkest positives I've ever seen out of our shop, going onto the fixxons stuff as well.  I don't think it's available bulk unfortunately though I wish it was.

Here is what we use:

It works real nice, but I have to admit I don't really have much to compare it to.

I'm pretty sure my artist gets the cobra ink like Frog.

I've been using inksupply.com for years Steve. My last two orders have taken inordinately long to ship, no communication
on backorders, etc. Going down the drain and I've kindly let them know, twice. Looks like we'll be switching as well.

giving Cobra the nod, thanks everybody. Still nothing from inksupply.com. Pretty surprised about that.

I use Cobra Inks DYE based black in the All Black setting through Accurip. Seldom clogs (really just dries out) and is plenty UV dense for my purposes. However I would try the ink from Chromaline like Pierre reportedly used, but they don't sell it (or didn't last I checked) in bulk for usage in my 1400's.

I can't believe how much ink I've put through a 1400 without "clogs".

I just use Cobra's refillable carts for my 1400's, but I wouldn't hesitate to use Cobra's CIS. There are some tricks to keep the carts primed, if they run dry (bad) and it is frustrating if one of the gals up front doesn't pay attention to the ink levels. With the CIS, you can plainly see when levels are low.

Has anyone had any luck finding a ciss for the artisan 1430?

What the frig Andy I searched their site this AM and did not find this! Thanks buddy!

what are the pros and cons of a CIS for the 1400 vs the refillable cartridges?  I see all this talk of cleaning carts for the larger printers, would this be helpful on the 1400?  I don't use a rip, so would either a CIS or the refillables still work with just the stock print driver/spooler printing from photoshop?

[Gilligan]

Yes, you just can't run all black carts without a rip (assuming you wanted to).
