Another tip which covers all printers using pigment ink comes from the ink supplier I mentioned in my previous post: when ever I remember or once a day, I pick up one end of the printer and give it a few gentle up and down shakes to stir up the pigments. I have had very few head clogs and was able to clear them up pretty fast. Also, keep a fee 377 batteries if using the refillables so when they stop registering so the printer recognizes them, a switch of the resetting circuit battery will do the trick. They cost less than two bucks each.

Works fine for me as a standard printer. Can't get good color when using dye sub ink

I don't know if it is a pigment ink. I am considering buying Canon replacements so that I can compare to the compatible. I mainly want to see if leakage on my hands during replacement of compatible occurs with factory replacement product. Its not bad, but it happened twice, so now I know.

Honestly I've no idea but it looks really cheap ink, very tiny bottles smaller then eyedroops I haven't use this ink I have a set of gray wash and blak outlining the ink that comes with the kit you can use it to practice only on fake skin or pork skin go to a Mexican store where they sell fresh meet and buy a pund of pig skin to practice that's what I did good luck if you want I can send you frozen pig skin

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

The larger cartridge labeled PGBK should be filled with a pigment based ink. The others use dye based inks. When you purchase refill ink, be sure there are five separate bottles and of the two black inks, one is pigment and the other dye.

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.

you want this one; http://www.amazon.com/Inktec-Pg-240xl-Cartridges-Printers-Pigment/dp/B0094J7QW8/ref=sr_1_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1378502066&sr=1-1&keywords=refill+kit+for+pg240 but since they're all basically just ink and come with a drill, any kit will do, but keep in mind that the instructions that come with it might not be compatible with your cartridge. Look on youtube for a simple tutorial on how to do it for your cartridge. Black is not the same as Y/C/M, YCM (Yellow Cyan Magenta) is the color ink cartridge (was that your question) They are all most likely dye-based inks, at this price.

Hi no, we only have the setup with the pigmented ink, this is the ink that is like the ink in the original EPSON cartridges. Thank you.

The ink color is Black and it is between medium and thin point. I do not lie fine point and somemedium or a bot too heavy or thick, This is perfect.....Such a handy thing to have and carry with you. I would buy it again if the need was here.

It is a non-gel ink from what I can tell. But I am unhappy with the quality. It is more of a fine point rather the medium point. Good luck.

What a cute idea! Pigment inks transfer well to canvas and you will get the best results with 100% cotton canvas. You may have to press their little thumbs onto the surface with a little more pressure to optimize their print. Best wishes and hug them all for me! Lani Cruz 12 Hugs Children's Centers 650-355-8964
