hi there,
wanted to share this email with you. got it today from my supplier and thought it may be useful to you:
-------------------------
I am pleased to say that a formal Licensing agreement has now been reached between InkTec Co. (The manufacturer of our Sublimation / Direct to Textile Ink)
and Sawgrass Technologies. Copy of the License agreement:-

http://www.inktec-uk.co.uk/dye_sub_license.htm

As a previous customer for this ink this email is to let you know that our ink is now licensed and will be added back onto our website(s). Meantime here is a link to a page where the bottles can be purchased.
I am pleased to say that although a license fee has to be paid by the manufacturer, InkTec, they have not increased their prices and these have also remained the same on the site.

Just got that email through, going through the details now...very interesting

Prices have gone up since I tried this ink a while back. Tests were very good but I had problems with clogging which were a concern. How on earth can they sell Sawgrass approved inks at this price when other suppliers have to keep the prices so high?

No, it's saying that Inktec ink is now Sawgrass approved.

Well, for it to get Sawgrass approval it must have undergone some very rigorous testing surely, so it should be the same quality as Artainium etc. but at a fraction of the price.

My only concern is the clogging that I experienced but I hadn't got the P50/S21 back then.

snap Justin - and I'm not really in the financial position to clean and replace my system if things go wrong!
