Sorry I didnt make my self clear, I have a HP 8000s printer and am having problems getting ink, I have some aftermarket cartridges but they are not chipped. the machine is too good to make redundant and would really like to keep it running

If you don’t want to buy genuine then try Andrew Dix at Advanced Inkjet Systems in Sussex.

I use their bulk system with archival pigment inks on my Z2100 – it’s very good and very economical, they can supply chips too if I recall.

Hi Bob

The HP8000s was basically a rebadged Seiko 64 ColorPainter

Unfortunately HP stopped supporting this platform about a year ago (as they have moved from Solvent to Latex print technology) and it was only a matter of time that the remaining official HP ink was exhausted.

We had a number of customers that were on this platform and one of the options I could find on their behalf was to switch to a 3rd party ink system (bulk or cartridge) which quite often required a firmware upgrade on the printer.

The other alternative we found was to switch to the standard Seiko ColorPainter V-64S LX Solvent Ink Cartridge. This can be sourced through an official Seiko reseller.

We put one of customers in touch with ColourGen at Maidenhead and as far as I am aware it works absolutely fine..

Might be worth you giving them a call as I am sure these cartridges are plug and play.

Hope this helps

Stuart
