Bordeaux Inks

[BobCap]

Has anybody used Bordeaux inks in their Mutoh Rockhopper 38?

Any opinions?

Thanks

Hi,
I have a lot of friends using Bordeaux inks on Roland. If you clean the machine from time to time, then you shouldn't have serious problems. Dampers must be replaced quite often. There is a strange phenomenon with that ink. On the surface of the dampers, weird bubbles appear. No problems with the colors, no new ICC profiles needed.
But, these problems are for Roland and DX4 print-heads. I don't know how that ink is doing with DX2 print-heads.
Hope that helps!
Regards

I've used them. (but not in the Mutoh) And don't anymore. I've posted on this topic.

I have been using them in my Versacamm for the last 3 years with no problems.

Been using them two years, hopefully will never go back. Didn't have to change any profiles, or drain any lines, just plug and go.

used bordeaux inks for 2 years, no problems. head took a dive on my mimaki jv3 and all the techs wanted to blame the ink, but I blame the fact that my printer was 8yrs old at this point and stuff just needs replacing eventually.

clean your printer well, and often, and you'll be just fine.
