Questions people ask before ordering
Is this ink suitable for the HP FI-1000?
Yes. It is formulated for the FI-1000 print engine — the same pigment class the platform was built around — and is supplied ready to run, with no reformulation or dilution on your side.
Pigment or dye — which one do I need?
Pigment for packaging, shipping, chemical and GHS labelling, and anything handled, stored or exposed to moisture. Dye where colour vibrancy on coated stock matters more than durability and the print has a short life. FI-1000 machines run pigment as standard.
How does $200 per litre compare to OEM cartridges?
That depends on what you pay per cartridge, so we built a calculator instead of quoting a headline saving: enter your cartridge prices and upload the job, and it works out cost per copy both ways.
Can I switch a running machine to this ink?
Ask us first. Mixing incompatible chemistries in a shared ink path is the fastest way to damage a printhead, so the changeover procedure matters more than the ink itself.
