Thread: UV ink refills

  1. #1

    UV ink refills

    Just thinking, (That's how I usually get into trouble) has anyone tried to see how UV inks hold up
    by refilling a "cheapo" printer? Maybe some of you screen printers acn share some thoughts on this.
    I don't know much about ink sets so it may trash the jet nozzles. If you can get the ink to lay down
    consistantly. ICC profiles can be made for a hundred $ or so.

    Hi, I am using the refillable cartridges from Cobraink for ink experiments (dye sub). I have epson workforce 1100 printers which retail for $179 but can usually be had for $99 to $129. If the UV inks are solvent based then they may just melt the printer...
