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.
