20/20 Ink... Make the switch?

[petesign]

I am about to make the switch from es3 inks to SS21, and have been approached about swapping to 20/20 inks. Ordinarily I wouldn't consider it... print heads aren't cheap... but thought I would ask if anyone here has any experience with them before I go off with a closed mind about the subject.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

i know the 20 20 inks for mimaki have had some issues with drying out if you dont print very often.. not sure if it's fixed yet

Any solvent ink will dry out if you don't print often. Been using 20/20 for quite some time in my Seiko. Works fine. Nazdar inks.

Dont know much of anything about 20/20 inks from Grimco. Proven reliable inks I do know of for Mimaki's are Triangle and Bordeaux.

Grimco is the nazdar reseller for 20/20.

Had no idea 20/20 was actually Lyson ink. In that case it's probably pretty good.

3rd party Lyson crashed my Roland in grand fashion.
But go ahead and report back...

We've had nothing but great luck with 20/20 inks. Been running them at least 3 years now. Couldn't even tell when we switched over.

I don't know about the 20/20, but I switched to Colorworks from Pioneer about 6 months ago. They work great and I've had no issues.
