Is anyone using 3rd party inks with a RX7 head (ie VSi and (I think) all new Rolands

[Gene@mpls]

I have used Triangle for years and have had zero problems. They are saying they don't have a (mild solv) ink for this head. I
am wondering if anyone is using a bulk ink setup with this head and whose ink you are using. It looks to me like all of the
current Roland models use this head. I need a new printer by year end and the CMYKx2 would be my choice at this point.
Thanks Gene

Is it perhaps a DX7 head? I am running Nazdar inks through our Mutoh 1628 models with no issues. Have been doing so for four months now, showing no signs of any problems. I believe the two printers, Mutoh and Roland have the same DX7 print heads.

You are right of course. I have old timers disease. Thank you. Anyone else? Thanks Gene

Not trying to sell for them or hog your thread. I have no affiliation with their company.
I have used over 6 different 3rd party inks, and this has been the closest to OEM as far as UV resistance, no new profiles needed and most importantly how it acts in the printers as far as maintenance. I can tell you horror stories of other companies inks and the problems we've had in our machines. Running 20 printers and maintaining them is a chore for sure, this is the best I've encountered. I'd sure love to hear other positive experiences with other companies as well, to keep my options open.

an RX7 would go super fast with all of those solvents in the inks
