Need supplier of Formulabs ink in Canada
Anyone know of a supplier of Formulabs bulk ink or even refill ink in
Canada? Formulabs in the US offered to send me gallon-sized containers; but anything that large would just "expire" way before I used it up. AMcLean |

Unless it's changed, their compatible cartridges are bought in bulk from another supplier, so I recommend you stick with bulk ink and refill kits. They have a good reputation for quality ink and supplies, and their prices are reasonable. You can find them at: http://www.atlanticinkjet.com/ Is this fact? I found a thread in this newsgroup, back in March, that they no longer used Formulabs. So I don't know who to believe. AMcLean |

Yes, but if you're unsure, just send them an email and confirm it. I found a thread in this newsgroup, back in March, that they no longer used Formulabs. So I don't know who to believe. If it's the thread I think it is, then that thread refers to AtlanticInk which is a DIFFERENT company based in the UK. It is not related to the CDN/US companies, even though the names are very similar. Amazing! You're memory is stronger than my eyesight. I just re-read the thread and it indeed does say "Atlantic Inks" and not "Atlantic Inkjet" inks. Thanks, Bill! AMcLean |

On Monday 8 March 2004 I recieved this reply from :
_______________________________________________ Hello We have used Formulabs but do not use them currently.

You can find them at: http://www.atlanticinkjet.com/ last time I asked them they said they no longer use Formulabs inks Once again, there are TWO companies with similar names, one in Canada and the US, and the other company is in the UK. AtlanticINKJET here in Canada with their sister company in the US. Atlantic INKS is a UK based company with no ties to the other. Note the difference. Last time I checked, they still used Formulabs and they clarified the difference between the two separate companies. |

just be warned Formulabs Canon Photo Magenta is as bad as the yellow you got
from Atlantic (clear visual difference in colour density), and their Magenta is a bit off too (ok for colour but not BW) When I need any real quality I have to use Canon Photo Magenta in my i9950.

Thank You Customer Service www.re-inks.com www.atlanticinkjet.com ________________________________________________ So I stand behind what I said. Hey, I suspected this! I noticed a strong color mismatch (not dark enough) with my last order of inks. Just looking at two filled cartridges - one a Canon and the other from Atlantic showed a paler yellow. Results soon confirmed my suspicions: I have had to set the brightness on my printer to "dark" now in order to get the same result I got from Canon's inks with printer set to "normal" before. So I have the same frustrated question: Anyone know of a source of first rate Formulabs ink in Canada? Printing's tough enough without fiddling with ink problems. Desdemona |
