Hello. Can you tell me if the black ink with this set is dye or pigment based? Thank you

It doesn't say on the bottle but it I'm pretty sure it's dye. I've never had any problems with clogging or anything.

the black ink in this set is a fade resistant dye based ink, it is formulated to be just like the original epson ink.

There are two black tanks because it has two different types of inks used in each. PGI-220 - Pigment Black CLI-221 - Dye Black Dye-based black inks tend to be better for text printing, whereas pigmented black inks often are designed more to blend in graphics (photos). I don't believe you can specify which tank it uses for all black printing. What you are printing defines the tank used automatically.

I don't know the answer to the question really. I bought a different package of Black. But the print of the package sent in the question seems to indicate it is a 127 large container of black ink.

This same company also sells ink refills. They carry pigment ink and dye ink, i have used both and don`t really see a difference.

The 100 is dye ink. I display a lot of prints and as yet I haven't noticed any fading. In talking to a friend that works in a photo shop where they use pigment ink the, pigment works fine if you don't let it set. You almost have to print everyday to keep everything flowing properly. I have had the 100 for almost 6 mo. and have printed over 100 11x17 prints with no problems at all.

These cartridges actually have a hybrid ink. The ink has the longevity of a pigment based ink and the bright crisp color of a dye based ink. We hope this was helpful. Please let us know if there are any further questions. Thank you - Northland Wholesale

All the black in that set is the same. There is not a black called photo black.

David, The way I understand it is that one is "pigment black" and the other is "photo black". I guess one works better for photos. I rarely print photos but both black cartridges seem to get used.

It includes 3 Hybrid Pigment Black inks, more vivid and blacker than regular pigment according to BCH.Printed on Photo paper of pictures seems a little softer but I did not enhance it on iPhoto.

Hi,it should work out okay,there will still be some of the Black ink in the nib. When that ink is used,than the Heart of Darkness will flow in right behind it. Heart of Darkness is a very nice ink,dries fast,and it's a nice shade

It makes perfect sense to me. Even though the colors are beautiful and dress up anything you want to print, the black ink is still the workhorse for printing so unless you want to spend all your time changing the cartridges, they installed mostly black ink. And that is okay with me.

They are not pigment so I was not able to use this system. I'm considering purging the lines and tank, getting new empty cartridges and ink. I do a lot of printing and get tired of manually refilling my two sets of ink cartridges. My research indicates if you use this with a system with the pigment in your system it may ruin your print head cartridges. That would be more costly to order new ones so I won't even try it. I've also determine to leave my HP on ALL the time since it runs fewer cleaning cycles when it boots up. Best Wishes and Good luck!

The pen I purchased came with black ink, as do most pens. I changed it to blue as soon as I received it.

2 of the colored and 5 of the black. I really like this ink. It is cheaper then Walmart and is very good quality.
