[Misc] Ink suppliers?

[jstefanski]

I've searched the forum for ink suppliers and there isn't to much info. I was hoping we could put together a list of places that offer custom inks or non-standard inks (Neons, etc.).

I use gmsupplies.com, they are very good but only offer the standard inks (For my machine(s) atleast - GR, RC)
Ebay has some options too but the date of production worries me.

Anyone have a good resource they could share?

Re: Ink suppliers?

Why not patronize the advertisers and links on this site? There are plenty of ads for ink and supplies.

Re: Ink suppliers?

I've searched the forum for ink suppliers and there isn't to much info...

A forum is a resource, a digital community, built to support and further develop a specific topic.
Strengthening this resource is in the best interest of the community, especially in an increasingly obsolete
genre like Risographs. But I'm sure you know that as you offer manuals for them no?


Since you took the time to troll my post, please take the time to point out exactly which distributor
is relevant to my specific question - surely not one of the 10 service manual links? (Helpful when I needed a manual,).

Moving on, can anyone help out?

Re: Ink suppliers?

Keywords I've used:
-ink
-ink suppliers
-aftermarket ink
-buying ink
-fluorescent

I've tried:
inkfarm.com (Completely off)

Three places I've checked:

http://acpsupplies.com/

http://gmsupplies.com

https://www.sdmc.com/

Thought I was onto something with this thread, no info:
http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/sh...ftermarket+ink

And then this one that went unanswered:
http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/sh...ht=fluorescent

Then there was this one that recommended ebay (I listed my concerns with that in my original post):
http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/sh...ht=fluorescent

I've seen different types of ink used and can't seem to find a supplier - I didn't think there was anything abrasive about the question, I was just hoping to get some help after spending a week searching. Can't someone just help?

Addblock?

That would be my guess - with FF and ABP, I don't see ads at all.

Me neither so a list would be fine :-)

Also with some experiences maybe?

I have a "black drum too many" for my RN 2500 now and I am thinking about to refill old black (cleaned) cartridges with "my own color". Can I theoretically use every Silkscreen color with this old printer?
I am thinking about neongreen, silver or maybe white, stuff to print on dark papers....

Re: Ink suppliers?

testing post, my last reply didn't show.

Every time I post a response with a list of research etc. it has to be "approved" and hasn't. I've done a ton of research, checked every sponsor on this site (nothing- aftermarket burgundy from one precision roller for $100). All I want to do is add to a poorly-supported area of the forum. I think everyone would benefit from this.

I'm not being a jerk or wanted someone to do legwork for me, simply asking for forum contribution.

I see all the sponsors - which one has what I asked or is relevant to this forum? None and few.

Re: Ink suppliers?

I can list the various suppliers I've tried outside of the sponsors of this site but that would be "breaking the rules", I'll go as far to say that major suppliers do not offer any ink alternatives from the standard colors.

By this point I've been called a jerk and accused of wanting other to do work for me - far from the case. I'm asking for help in an area that is very poorly documented on this forum. If this is such obvious knowledge then why has no one been able to provide one distributor?

Sponsors of the site:
justmanuals.com - no ink
buyerzone - nope
inkinbox.com - nope
precisionroller.com - offers off-brand burgundy at almost $100.00

...and there is a ton of irrelevant sponsored links.

Keywords searched.
1. Color ink
2. flourescent
3. ink suppliers
4. ink supplies
5. ink supply
6. colour
7. alternate colors



Here's a relevant post that went unanswered:
http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/sh...ht=Fluorescent

And another without a definitive answer :
http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/sh...=ink+suppliers

And then this individual asking for color #'s (which I think would be a helpful post):
http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/sh...ght=colour+ink

Maybe another distributor but not answered:
http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/sh...=ink+suppliers

Here is a great thread but no answer as to where to get alternate ink:

Re: Ink suppliers?

For someone with 5 posts you sure have a lot to say on the administration of this forum. If you don't like us............don't let the door hit you on the way out!

[jstefanski]

Re: Ink suppliers?

I don't have anything to say about the administration, only that my posts were not appearing? I haven't used any derogatory language in any of my posts (Only inappropriate forum language used were comments on "post ranking" directed towards me). I posed a simple question hoping to get assistance which in turn would help others - a couple have posted to this thread with similar questions. In fact, there are many posts on this forum which have gone unanswered with similar inquiries/ideas.

Not sure where the animosity came from, all I did was prove that the sponsors didn't offer what I was inquiring about thus not impeding on anyone's agenda. period.

Now does anyone want to contribute valuable information pertaining to my question? I'm working on it and if I find a supplier I will be sure to let everyone interested know

I think you may have poked a sleeping bear with a stick with an earlier post.

Re: Ink suppliers?

Why do there have to be bears? My approach was completely harmless - I simply started a thread for a previously unsupported topic.

If anything, I deserve an apology as his initial response was uninformed and irrelevant thus prompting the response he received in return.

Post count bares no weight IMO, everyone has to start somewhere.
