Hi,
I am considering the purchase of a bulk ink systems and am confused. I have an Epson Stylus 1280 and found 2 options so far: 1 from a company called Media Street (www.mediastreet.com), it comes with ink and it looks like a bunch of bottles in a box.
The second systems i found looks better and has no ink but the company that sells it states that the system is for commercial use (they sell stuff for sublimation) and I've never heard of them ... US Sublimation (www.bulkinksystem.com).
I am leaning towards the second because I would like to use a specific brand of ink that I am already using to refill my cartridges with and gives me very good results and consistency. Does any one have experience with any of those systems?

A few weeks ago I asked for help buying a bulk ink system and got no answers from this forum. I guess most people are still hesitant about bulk ink systems... I know I was.
I searched for help on other forums and got some replies, one of them is the dpreview.com forum.
I also called 4 companies that make these bulk ink systems and at the end decided to go for the unit from UsSublimation.
Apparently their units have been sold for years to people that print mugs and t shirts.

I received my unit and am very satisfied, it took me about 30/40 minnutes to fill it and install it. I had to call once for help and their tech support guided me step by step.

I am not sure whether this unit is better than others, i chose it because it looks good next to my printer and I felt reassured by the fact that it is used by people that use them to make a living.

Just thought I would let everybody know.
Jason
