  • Mimaki es3 ink suppliers, advice needed.

    Posted by Benjamin Hall on 27 July 2017 at 09:31

    Hi,

    I’m looking for some advice, I used digiprint supplies for my es3 ink for the mimaki.

    Hybrid told me that they are not official inks. So I’m questioning if they are worth the 83 + vat price tag per cartridge.

    I have notice daemon print supplies being a cheaper alternative. Has anyone used there ink, should I be concerned about the scaremongering you hear about your print head blocking up?

    Any advice much appreciated.

    If your printer is still under warranty I’d stick to OEM. They are more expensive but if you have a fault with the printer they will sort it out for you but won’t touch it if you’re using ink without the Hybrid ‘lets do more’ logo on them.

    Once the warranty is over, I don’t know why you’d still use OEM ink. We have people who use our ink and the cost saving will more than pay for a years maintenance contract and the quality is at least equal to OEM.

    I have been using the ATS inks for my Mimaki for a while now and have been impressed with their performance.

    Thanks Jon. You were using ES3 before too weren’t you? Most of our Mimaki’s were running SS2/21 previously.
