Although I have only tested Epson inks formulations, I have been told by
others who have tried both 3rd party and other brands of inks that the
same basic mix works on the majority of water based inkjet printer inks.


What strikes me most about this whole complicated process is how easy it
is to remove the water-based inkjet ink from paper by getting it wet.


After fighting with color inkjets for years and throwing away hundreds of
dollars on cartridges that only gave me a few pages before clogging up
across numerous brands of printers, I finally gave up and got a color laser,
and I've never looked back. The photo output is not as good as a modern
inkjet but for everything I print it's fantastic. If you don't print a lot
of photos I highly recommend looking into one. Some even do photos pretty
well.


Thanks for the notes. I finally got a B&W laser and was thinking about a
color unit. I've never actually had clogging problems with inkjets yet,
at least nothing I couldn't fix easily, but the cost was eating me out
of house and home.
