Message: [QUOTE="l_d_allan, post: 203230, member: 5680"] Have you thought about learning how to do your own ink cartridge refilling? There is definitely a learning curve, but your volume would seem to justify it. You can pick up used Canon Pixma Pro 9000-2's very reasonably, as Canon has closed them out, and there were "rebate specials" for years. You do have to know what you are doing as far as dealing with possibly dried-out print-heads. I've been using OCP ink from Germany for several years, and been very happy with it. If the print quality has to be as good as OEM ink + OEM paper, then you'll probably need to get custom profiles. In any case, the print quality will be very, very good. I would think a consideration is that you would be in control of the ink used, and not at the mercy of clogs from no-name ink that can vary with each order. I figure it costs me about 20¢ to refill a 13ml CLI-8 cartridge, Your existing 75xl cartridges may have higher ink capacity ... I'm mostly ignorant about HP. However, if you are using 2¢ per sheet paper, than I infer your print quality expectations are rather modest. What specifically are you using for paper? A step up from plain copy paper? But do you need pigment ink for fade resistance and more stable if the print gets damp? Dye ink can run if it gets damp, especially if it hasn't fully dried. But pigment ink is a hassle ... more likely to clog. I don't have any experience with color lasers, but I would sure look into that option for higher volume. [/QUOTE]
