So you would recommend the epson c120 for this type of job? Is there any special ink i beed to buy to print on the JPSS paper?
Yes, the C120's are great for this. They are replacing the c88/c88+ model in the Epson line up. Basically the same. It adds an additional black cartridge.
You can find a re-fill cart system with cheaper 3rd party inks at inkjetcarts.us. If you search that supplier name, you will find alot of threads with user feedback.
The folks go to those type of inks because, first, they work. They are much cheaper than buying the Epson carts at the store.
Second, Durabrite, which comes in the c88's and c120's "can" "colorshift" (a search for colorshift will bring up the threads of unhappy stories of colorshifting, blacks turning green, etc) under the heat of the press. I use Durabrite inks and I don't have that trouble, but alot of folks do.
They switch to a re-fill cart or bulk system from one of the suppliers, and the problem is solved. Once they get passed installation, most folks seems really happy... they are always happy with the inks, but sometimes bulk systems clog and than they are dealing with that, but otherwise, the re-fill cart folks seem pretty happy most of the time. I will be going re-fill cart, and I am going to follow the people to inkjetcarts.us. There are other suppliers like inkjetfly, shopdyesub, inkrepublic... but from what I've read, inkjetcarts.us seems to be the name I hear most.
Okay, wow, that was long.. sorry.
As far as I know, no special inks for JPSS, pigment, Claria, dye, pigment compatable and Claria compatable inks seem to be working just fine, for almost everyone.
The only time I hear of issues is when folks print with too much ink, once they switch to text/normal mode, away from photo or best mode, the problems are resolving.
