HP 5500ps UV generic ink experience?

[vladio]

Just curious if anyone tried anything like this:

I've tried Lexjet generic inks in the past and they've worked well but these ebay inks I'm a little hesitant. Thought maybe someone on here uses them and could provide some feedback.

Thanks in advance!

I experienced sucess with Sawgrass across 6 5000 series working in a color managed shop back in 2005. We didn't have to do any extra profile tweaking across our medias other than what we were already doing with the OEM inks (we ran monthly tests trhoughout the shop). We also switched to Sawgrass for our dye sub JV3s and it went well aside from the aspect of a a supplier ink issue from a previous 3rd party provider. I have nothing bad to say about the experience and was impressed.

Thanks for the feedback. I use Lexjet as well and like it. I ran Encad/Kodak for years and was used to their inks and consumption rates. The 5500 seems like it uses more ink per sq ft than the encad.
