PIGMENT INKS FOR CANON / BROTHER / HP PRINTER PEDE PALA ? | PRINTING BUSINESS GUIDE BY THE FAKE GURU

Introduction

Welcome back to our printing channel! Thank you to everyone who has submitted messages and comments on our YouTube channel. The engagement is encouraging, and together we can push our printing journey forward. Today, we’ll dive deep into the topic of pigment inks, exploring their compatibility with different printer brands such as Canon, Brother, and HP.

Understanding Pigment Inks

For those venturing into the printing business or researching options for pigment inks, it’s crucial to recognize the differences between dye-based and pigment inks. Pigment inks offer distinct advantages, particularly in terms of water resistance and color richness. When I used a specific printer (model 3210), I observed that the colors were dark and vivid, accurately reflecting what I saw on my monitor. Conversely, dye inks, like those in the 121 model, tend to spread when wet, leading to unwanted smudges.

Compatibility of Pigment Inks with Printers

Let’s address some recent inquiries regarding specific printer models.

Brother Printers: It is possible to use pigment ink with Brother printers, but with some conditions. Pigment inks can only be utilized in certain models, specifically the 500, 700, and 800 series. The key models are the BT 6000 BK for pigment ink use. It's essential to avoid using pigment inks in models such as DCP 1010 or 5110, as they are delicate and intended for dye inks only.
Canon Printers: For Canon printers, the situation is similar. You can use pigment inks, but only black pigment is generally acceptable. Third-party inks, like Hansel Kui, are not compatible with Canon technology due to their ink consistency. This can lead to clogging and damage.
HP Printers: The HP tank 1152 was mentioned by a viewer. Unfortunately, you can’t use pigment ink in HP models in the same way as Brother or Canon. Compatibility remains a concern, and it’s best to stick with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The Implications of Using Pigment Ink

Using pigment ink can be a double-edged sword. While they provide excellent color depth and durability, they can also lead to significant issues if used improperly. Printers can get clogged, which can result in a costly repair or replacement of the printer head. This is more prevalent in Canon models, where the cartridge technology is sensitive to the consistency of inks. Therefore, if you aim to enter the printing business focusing on high-quality outputs, using original inks or compatible brands specific to your printer is crucial.

Conclusion

If you are starting out in the printing business, I recommend focusing on Epson printers if you plan on using pigment inks due to their compatibility with third-party inks. For those investing in Canon or Brother printers, make sure to research and understand the ink specifications fully. Research is key in establishing a successful printing venture.
