Since the demise of the excellent www.mwords.co.uk some years ago, as far 
as I know there is no UK supplier of any inks I'd want to use. There is 
also Lyson ;-).

You now have to buy Cone or MIS from the US or EU. Inkjetmall in US is 
excellent but you get clobbered on duty + VAT + courier import charges.

This is partly why I gave up on bespoke B&W (endless clogs, head 
replacements and appalling unreliability of CIS+Epson when used 
intermittently, was the other problem). For now I use an HP B9180 printer 
with Vivera pigments.
