I have been using this system nearly 18 months now in my photography business and it has performed well above expectations.

When I got the system I did some prints with the OEM inks and then when I fitted the Rihac I reprinted the same images.
I was hoping the Rihac wouldn't have too much of a drop in quality over the OEM but was pleasantly surprised. In my opinion the results are better than the OEM inks.

The rihac ink colours are much more true to life and seem to have better tonal range as well. With the OEM inks some of the images i printed were over saturated but the rihac is very well balanced and faithful. The images from my high end camera's print sharp and I have never had an ink related problem with my printers.

I have bought 4 bottles of ink for each colour plus the original fill that came with the system and am extremely happy with the performance.
I have saved a LARGE fortune with the CIS and the low cost of printing allows me to economically print short run promo materials for a few cents each as well as top quality photographs.

I can specifically tailor my marketing materials for each promotion and market I want to address which would not be possible with using a commercial printer.

I have recommended the Rihac system to several friends and although they just use their printer for domestic purposes, the cost saving now allows them to enjoy using their printer without cringing at the ripoff cost of OEM ink.

It's pretty stupid to have an assett you are too afraid to use because of the cost of operation but with the Rihac cis you can utilise your printer and learn to use it to its best advantage without going broke in the process.
