I think you're right, John.  The plastic container likely is the culprit.  I have a background in rubber and I know how nasty that can be.  Many of the same chemicals are also found in plastic.

Thank you for your apology.  I didn't mean to 'attack' Epson.  If it comes across that way it wasn't my intention.  I am a little concerned though about prints that have gone to clients if my own...

I don't really know why you have been knocking my posts lately when I post something with a negative comment.  You did the same, and locked the thread, a few weeks ago when I said I was not pleased...

It was stored away in a plastic tote container with some other items of the kids (school work and a few other photos in frames).   I would estimate the print has faded at least 30%, probably closer...

I have a print on Epson canvas I made about 6 years ago.  The canvas was behind glass and displayed in my son's bedroom for about a year (a photo I took of our kittens).  It then went into storage...

I banked on it being available because the owner of the company, Jon Cone, told me personally on three separate occasions that the ink would be available on certain dates.   Before buying the...

After buying a 1430 almost a year ago with the intentions of running the Cone Ink Thrift inks for Claria printers, I've now given up.   Jon Cone has given me 3 different release dates.  The last...

I was in the path of this storm too and it was pretty wicked!  Jon might be snowed in - seriously.  There are still tons of people without power.  There is something keeping him from getting back...

Yeah I suppose you're right, Bob.  They likely do sell mostly dye.  1kg of each color would probably take some time to use up!  I had already decided on Cone anyway before Debbie got back to me. ...

So Debbie finally got back to me again.  Apparently if I want to buy specific pigment inks with me providing the part number because she doesn't know them, I have to buy a minimum of 1kg of ink for...

Yes, that is the last name on my email correspondence. Doesn't matter though.  I'm more than impressed with Jon Cone and will buy his inks from now on.  Now only if he made Lucia inks...

That wasn't a slam against OCP and their ink.  I'm sure they make great ink. The slam was against R Jet-Tek and their salesperson.  I understand we little guys don't make up a lot of their...

Holy crap is right, Joe.  I actually have the info needed to order the inks given to me by someone else that uses OCP in their printer.  I could make an order right now for one of my printers based...

Finally received a response from R Jet-Tek about using OCP ink in my printers.  Below is the response, cut and pasted.  I had asked what OCP ink, both pigment and dye, go into my printers. "No I’m...

Joe, I'm trying to decide which printer to try the Cone dye in.  I originally purchased my 1430 in the summer of 2012 with intentions of using the Thrift Ink in it after speaking to Jon Cone...

Good to know.  Thanks, Paul. I've decided to play it safe and go with Cone inks.  Although they cost more than other 3rd party inks, they're still cheaper than OEM.  And I'd rather not compromise...

I have looked on eBay too, but again shipping is crazy high.  The link you provided shows $62 US for shipping to Canada, plus when it gets here UPS usually wants around the same for duty fees. ...

That explains why this lady from R Jet-Tek didn't go out of her way to look for me. Mine is a 4880 with the vivid magenta's, so I guess the OCP pigment is out of the mix without the vidid.  I also...

R Jet-Tek tells me there is no ink for my printers that I want to convert from OEM (1430, 7600 and 4880) for both pigment and their dye "claria-like" fade resistent formula. I realize they might...

How long would you trust these Claria type dyes on canvas with a topcoat added, Joe?  No glass.  Canvas wrapped around stretcher bars but sprayed with a topcoat with UV inhibitors. I've never tried...
