From: SteveB on 20 May 2005 03:08 The 45 takes black pigmented ink only and the 78 takes dye ink only. I'm UK based, I used to get my 78 ink and 45 black pigmented ink from two separate companies that have both closed down now. I believe there are lots of good colour ink kits out there but you have to be careful that you are getting real pigmented black ink as some companies still don't know the difference and try to sell you black dye ink which will work but will be feint and spidery in comparison with pigment ink on plain paper. The ink I used to use must have been good though, 4yr old photos haven't faded at all.

Thanks for the clarification, Steve. I also believe there are lots of good ink refill kits out there, but I don't know which companies know the difference between dye ink and pigment ink! Is there an easy way figure this out, so I don't have to find out when I see spider-legs on the page? I thought I'd start up a collection of ink companies and just ask each one. Maybe they'll talk to me. Thank you! New SteveB wrote: > The 45 takes black pigmented ink only and the 78 takes dye ink only.
