Maybe someone could tell Sawgrass that so they can get it right and stop clogging Epsons! :wink:

Might be something to do with me not having any blockages anymore since using ****** inks. Me & my S21 are still very happy bunnies. :biggrin:

A very slight change can result in no print at all! Best test is to open a Ricoh cartridge and look at the ink yourself - I've plenty of these kicking around the warehouse...:)
The ink is definitely different. Inks in Epson/ Canon printers is very watery (I'm talking about the genuine inks, not sublimation inks). The ink inside the Ricoh cartridges is thicker. I'd compare the difference a bit like comparing wine 'legs' in a glass when you swill it around (Epson & Canon inks) and single cream in the same wine glass. Still liquid (not gel like hair gel), but certainly thicker.
