Inktec feedbacks ?

[malkram]

Hello everyone, I currently use an Epson 1500W with Sawgrass ArTainium inks, 3 of the 6 bottles reached expiry in July (they are 80% full) and I am supposed to replace them, even though I filled the cartridges only once as of now, that is €240 for the 3 bottles here. That made me think of switching to Inktec Sublinova Smart, first of all for the price but I've been also wondering how it does compared to Sawgrass ArTainium.

Can any of you give me feedback on this ink (color vibrancy and accuracy) ? And if possible your comparison with Sawgrass. Thanks !

Used it exclusively since mid 2011 with no problems. We do our own ICC profiling for them, and have used them in Epson Stylus Pro 4400, 7600 and 9600 wide format printers.
Know many people who have used them in smaller consumer/office type printers successfully too.

Thanks @pisquee, would you say it is better than Sawgrass in terms of color vibrancy/accuracy ?

That is probably a good question for Paul, as he's done lots of ICC profiles for many inks and printers, including Inktec.

I use both Sawgrass and Sublinova ink and can confirm that there really isn't much difference (if any at all) in the quality of the ink. Make sure you get a profile and everything will work just fine.

Used it for quite a few years. Currently in a 1500w with my own profile and very happy with it.
