SO, in the wake of my sick day,
I receded up to the third floor space
I have been trying to convert to my personal space
in the house. Luckily, thanks to the laws of physics,
or maybe thermo-dynamics, it is the warmest spot in the house!
While there, I decided it was due time to install
my Christmas present from my folks…
A Niagra II Continuous Ink Flow System for my Epson Photo Stylus 1280…
This uses the archival, pigment based inks that let my produce
my own over-sized giclee prints.
OMG! Becky!
I can’t stand it!
Information on Media Streets site, lists indiviudal cartridge sets
costing about 83 bucks per set. Yeah, right?
Well, with the new system, I can order a set of 4 oz bottles
for the bulk system at roughly 98 bucks a set.
That takes ink costs from 24 bucks an ounce to about 4.5 bucks an ounce!
Holy crap!
Now, since the printer has been stored due to my lack of ability
to afford the expensive inks…it will take a while to get all the printer heads cleans,
but – DAMMIT – I can hardly wait!
