(From a Colour Confidence press release)

Colour Confidence have announced the availability of Pantone ColorVANTAGE Inks. ColorVANTAGE Inks are an optimised set of pigmented inks, specially formulated, they feature a wide colour gamut, rich colours and superior lightfastness, all with a 20% saving in comparison to Epson original inks.

The formulation of ColorVANTAGE Inks gives them a deeper, more saturated colour without having to add black. This means brighter and more vibrant colours, and because they are pigmented they are not subject to colour shifts. ColorVANTAGE Inks appear significantly different from Epson original inks and offer a number of advantages in comparison.

Further benefits of ColorVANTAGE Inks include:

• Three 100% pigmented black inks improve output for glossy and matte papers: Photo Black, Light Black, Matte Black
• Print deeper colour tones without adding black
• Neutral pigmented blacks inks
• Bulk inks available
• Quick drying to reduce ink rub off
• Demonstrate minimal bronzing effects
• Water resistance

The following printers currently support Pantone ColorVANTAGE Inks:

• Epson Stylus Photo 1270, 1280, 2100, 2200, 4000, 5000, 5500
• Epson Stylus Pro 9000, 9500, 9600, 7000, 7500, 7600

If you’ve tried these new inks, please post in the comments section and let us know what you thought of them. It sounds like their profile would be quite different from the Epson inks – did you find that a problem? How does the price compare?
