So yeah, 3AM it was and what would I be doing, sleeping? Nah. Oof, I wake up in 2 hours…
Nevermind that, here’s per color test page:
I filled the CMY cartridge with blue FP ink. All three colors.
But first I flushed it with tap water. I just filled it with water and sucked it out repeatedly. I did not get all out, but enough. Then I shot in around 3ml of FP ink that I sucked out, and put in like 6ml of it in and sucked out 1ml to get it flowing.
The cartridge was partially dry for like a year. I thought all the nozzles would be burnt out by now.
Basically I did all that shouldn’t be done.
And here’s a test the other way around:
Nice black, but with a lot of bleed-through:
This is sooo cool! I came into possession of a large format epson and have been meaning to just start tossing random ink into its cartridges.

Agreed. I think a battle-worthy printer shouls be able to use pen ink. They are both intended for printing on paper after all. For most people who have no reason to buy 2 different inks, the limitations of using pen ink in a printer should do.

I love random stuff like this. And thank you for answering the question whether a printer can print with fountain pen ink because I’ve been wondering that for a while but never had the drive to test it.
