Details are on the link I posted. These are the 10oz Durham and there are 6 cases left. We won't re-stock orca coated once they've sold.

Although not licensed for the printer you are using them in, the inks you have are a good high quality professional ink, so don't write them off just because they aren't overpriced like Sawgrass' own brands. With an ICC profile you should get very good results from them.
As Ricoh's use "Gel Ink" you are very much tied to one set of inks from Sawgrass, whereas with a printer like an Epson there is a lot more choices available to you.

Thank you, Well i intend to use the Epson for the next few months and if i can keep any problems to a minimum i will be happy to continue using it. I have just bought my self a Spyder 3 Print SR to do my own ICC, After doing some research it turns out people get much better results from the Spyder rather than the colour mukni. They say the Spyder is way more accurate as its the only print one they do so its concentrated on a lot more rather than concentrating on say 5 different print models. Plus it scans a lot more color swatches than the Colour munki.

Also what process do you use to make mugs if that's what you do?

I Print on Pre-Cut visi paper, press for 165 seconds on 170 degrees with about 10% Pressure "no force at all, just light closing" Once finished i dip in luke warm water to minimize any blur/gassing. Each time i get 100% perfect results. The quality is outstanding, the only defects i have is if the mug is damaged which is rare

BMS i have considered buying all you boxes of Orca coated mugs, Will be having a speak with business partner in the morning about it.
