    A question regarding ink

    I recently received several off-brand RP tubes of ink full of water. Needless to say such ink has made printing difficult, to say the least. I shake all the water out of the tubes before I use them in the machine, and they work fine then.
    I had ordered ink for both my RP and GRHD machines, and only the RP ink came. Being the sort I am, I've been refilling GR tubes with RP ink that's full of water. Actually, refilling the GRHD tubes makes it easier to remove all the extra water out the ink before I use it so it isn't as bad as it seems. Or maybe it is and I'm just making the best of a crappy situation.

    All the extra effort has gotten me thinking – why not by bulk ink in five gallon containers and refill all the empty ink containers myself?

    What does anyone think of that? Any ideas on where I might buy such ink? I imagine there must be some place that has an ink that would work in the Risograph.

    Hi, I think here is no supplier who supply ink with 5 gallons, genune supplier they supply with 200KG or at least 100KG bulk ink. By the way 1000ml is about 1.2KG.
