Is this pigment based ink, like Epson's Durabrite ink? or is it dye based ink?

Dye based Ink. I have three different Epson Printers and am using GigaBlockshop Product in each one with out any problems.

Hi no, we only have the setup with the pigmented ink, this is the ink that is like the ink in the original EPSON cartridges. Thank you.

Robert, I have not had any problems with these remanufactured epson printer ink cartridges. I am using the ink now. Seems to work the same as Epson brand and a heck of a lot cheaper. I just replaced my black ink because I print a lot of documents. The color cartridges seems to be holding up well and print well when I have something in color. Make sure you clean your printer jets and calibrate your printer per Epson printer manual. Hope this helps. Have a good day.

just confirm if they are pigmented ink. looking the yellow will tell you if are pigmented. the general ink used in other many printers like HP, Lexmart etc are very transparent and as far I know cant be mixed with many Epson printers ink. Just confirm the type used in your printer. I use the pigmented ink in my Epson 415. hope this help you to select the ink you may need.

No, this ink is aqueous ink meaning it is water based ink. It will be water resistant to a small degree but is not waterproof by any means, for that you would need a solvent printer with solvent ink also referred to as "eco-solvent ink". Solvent ink is chemically different and is oil based, it is used mostly in sign/vinyl printing.

A lot of the suppliers of ink packs have pigment black instead of dye black. You can't trust the pictures, the bottles look different and are from various places, mine said 'fresh ink jets com' on them. My own ink order had "premium pigment based universal ink" 4 oz for the black, and I haven't noticed any difference on the paper. I think the refillable ARC cart had dye ink in originally too but I'm not sure (Non-oem Ink Cartridges for Epson NX400 NX100 NX200 NX300 NX305 NX415 NX115 NX215 NX415 NX515 NX105 WORKFORCE 600 610 40 500 CX7400 CX8400 CX9400 Cx5000 CX6000 CX7000Printer 69) The black seems okay with this pigment ink instead of dye (or whatever it was) but I've only filled it once from the original so long-term who knows.

Yes, it's permanent ink. Be careful, and check the paper you are using as much paper made today won't work with liquid inks, and you can end up with a blur rather than a word. If you use good paper, what you write won't wash out, but the excess will fade if it gets wet (as is true with most all ink). More depends upon the paper than the ink. I do like this ink quite a bit, and just pulled out some note books (details of some environmental studies) I wrote in grad school about 40 years ago, and they are still crisp and clear if that helps you at all.

They are dye based ink, hence the low price. Pigment colors are more expensive but last a lot longer.

I have the Epson Workforce 845, the quality of the Epson made ink is excellent. However, this aftermarket ink for the money is pretty good. I would buy it again.

Yes! it can refill the same ink of pigment. You can get some from the same shop. I have bought this cartriges and inks.

I have an older Epson and was wanting to replace it for that very reason. I can't print anything when any color is out. So it says I need to replace the light blue and won't let me print anything until I do. Since I never use color, I'm guessing the blue just dried out. At any rate, I can't figure how to override that and just use black. Maybe it is just an Epson thing, as you said, to get us to buy more ink. I'm with you, I want to keep going until the ink fades and I can really see it is almost out.

I am not exactly sure, but I will tell you this- I normally use hp artist matte canvas quite easily, but the Epson canvas clogs my pigment ink printing machine, it's a bit thicker for sure. And it is harder to cut too.

Don't know-dye or pigment. Aren't they the same thing? A pigment gives a dye it's color. Anyhow, these work great. I bought the 100 ml bottles kit with the cartridge reset device..it works every time. 600 ml is a lot of ink. I think my 100 ml bottles will keep my Cannon printer going for years. Great quality print. Pick a place outside the home to do the refills...can get messy. But again..beautiful color.

yes it is the black and the color. However when I bought it it would not work properly and did not get any use out of it. It is better to buy new ink refills than remanufactured. Don't waste your money like I did

I spoke with the seller of this CISS system, and they said that it will work with the Epson R2000 Pigment printer, but the CISS comes fully loaded with dye based ink, which is not compatible with the printer. Also, you can not replace the dye based ink with pigment ink for some reason. It appears to be a design flaw, although I can't be sure. I should think that they should make sure that their products are 100% compatible right down to the type of ink that the printer uses. I have already returned mine for a refund. Good luck.
