What Is Inklink™ |
An inklink™ is an alternative to using cartridges.
The unit comprises of a large reservoir of ink (100mls of each colour) that sit outside your printer. Attached to the reservoir is a set of silicone tubes which feed into special cartridges which you use instead of your current cartridges. The printer works exactly the same way but now you have 100mls of each colour rather
than 10mls (which is the contents of the average cartridge).
Even better, when you get low on ink, just pull out the plug on the reservoir and pour in some refill ink (available from rihac for $14 per 100mls). Best of all you are saving up to 94% compared to the cost of cartridges
You save up to 96% on your printing costs!
Obviously, the more you print the more you will be saving.
Consider it this way, The Canon CLI-651 colour cartridges have approximately 6mls of usable ink inside while the PGI-650 has around 14mls. Canon CLI-651 cartridges retail for around $22.99 each and the PGI-650 is about $19.94 (prices correct as of Jan 2014 via officeworks online*).
Rihac CISS is prefilled with 500ml of Rihac ink and is equivalent to approximately 74 Canon cartridges which would cost you about $1680.00 to purchase separately.
In our set of replacement inks (5 x 100ml of each colour) would cost you $63 for 500mls of ink. To buy the same amount of Canon cartridges it would cost you about $1680.00*. You save $1617.00 every time you refill! |

About Us |
Rihac is a Melbourne based company and the world leader in continuous inking products. For the better part of a decade we have been engineering and developing ink supply units known as the Inklink™ or CISS™ for the majority of brand named printers such as Canon, HP, Brother and Epson. .
From humble beginnings back in 2002 we created the first InkLink™ CISS™ unit based on a gravity flow system created in the USA. Rather than using a gravity based system, rihac developed a purpose designed and self-contained ink reservoir. This reservoir was engineered with special 'air balance tubes' to balance the pressure regardless of the ink level and act like a normal ink cartridge. We made the system endlessly refillable and set about using the best quality inks we could source. Since then, rihac have established themselves as the world leaders in ink supply systems and produce products for more printers than any other similar products in
the world.
With ink base products supplied from Both Cabot's (USA) and Diamond (UK) we make 100% sure that our products will never damage your print heads and will match the EOM colours. Our dye based inks are micro filtered and have a special UV absorber to maximise print life beyond generic inks. Our inks were even reviewed by choice magazine who rated them as the only aftermarket inks tested that matched the original cartridge colours.
Rihac products have been the subject of many other reviews (available online) and product awards, including being a finalist for the 2011 Women's Weekly product of the year and 2012 Telstra Business Awards People's Choice Winners and MYOB small business awards Victorian Finalist. Testament to the quality and product support is the numerous online comments and customer reviews available on our website, Ebay and online.
Rihac also have a team which visit community groups and other interested parties giving talks on colour printing, colour management issues, printer choices and of course the rihac product range. |

About Our Inks |
|
Don't Settle for Cheap Imitations |
The single most common call we receive is people
who have been 'burnt' by cheap imitation style products or inks
on ebay or other websites. One of the downsides of being a quality product is that sooner or later imitation products will appear. Unfortunately we have seen numerous poor quality 'copycat' systems and inks. A quick check of online sales sites such as ebay will present you with a number of Chinese or Asian copy systems and inks being sold by opportunistic sellers.
The vast majority of these products are simply imported from China and manufactured to be sold to the Asian market. This means they are made as cheaply as possible to be sold as cheaply as possible which is standard practice for Asian based companies as their market of over 1.3 billion can't afford and don't demand high quality. Hence what you get is an inferior product which sellers try to sell at just under our price point, despite being very poor quality and in some cases their use can permanently damage print heads. |
|
If you have purchased a poor quality system or ink in the past, don't be put off as we guarantee that if you try our system it will work properly for your printer. All we can say is you get what you pay for and remember that we know what we are talking about as we invented it. Our support team are always available via phone or email and if you live locally you can always drop in to our R&D centre in Maribyrnong, Victoria. |
Important Information |
We regularly find these sellers blatantly using everything from our product information, installation manuals and in a few cases they even used our contact details for support. Not only do these sellers engage in somewhat 'creative' advertising some blatantly lie about the quality of their product. Unfortunately these products and sellers are difficult -to stop and despite having numerous trademarks and patents we are powerless in some cases to prevent these listings and sales.
A common marketing trick used by a number of sellers is to advertise this inks as 'German' or 'USA' or 'German (or USA) ink technology'. In reality these inks are 100% made in Asia. This misleading advertising is based on an assumption that the German company Bayer provides ink Dyes (Bayer was a German company that sold inkjet dyes). In reality ink formulas are complex and only 5% of the finished dye product is the colorant (Dye) and comes from a company called Laxness which was formerly owned by Bayer. |
|
Laxness is in fact based in Korea. OCP which is Germany's largest ink manufacturer took the unusual step of making a public announcement some years ago that it does not provide any ink to any Chinese manufacturers due to the complaints it was receiving. Chinese ink has a bad reputation for causing head blockages and damage in printers and excessive fade rates due largely to cheap carrier fluids and additives used in their ink production. |
