[Leica] Printer ink discontinued

[Aram Langhans]

Hi George.  I was going to suggest you get ink from Marrutt but I see 
they no longer list any for the 2200.  I have used their ink since my 
R1800 through the R2400 and now the P600.  They have great ink.  As each 
OEM cartridge ran out and was replaced with the Marrutt ink I would run 
the test print from their site and compare.  I could see zero 
differences and my profiles all worked perfectly.  And about 1/3 the 
price once you get going.  I use the refillable cartridges rather than 
the CIS, but my sister-in-law used CIS for quite a bit on her P600 in 
her business.  It took some time to get it going but then it worked fine.

If you do not want to increase to a 17" wide printer I might suggest you 
stay with 13" wide and look at the P700 instead of the p900.  I am 
waiting for my P600 to suffer the inevitable clog that I cannot cure so 
I can get the P700.  I then could use matte and photo black w/o doing 
the purge to swap inks and wasting a bunch. And Marrutt does make ink 
for the P700.

I cannot sing too many praises for Marrutt ink.
