The only pigment quad inks available in Europe were Ilford's
Monokrome for Encads but I think a 3000 will print them as
well. Duck soup would print in a 3000. Then there are the
Lyson dye quad inks + small gamut with a mixed reputation.
That's all I think.

But everywhere you see Epson K3 clones popping up. With QTR +
the 3000 and PK + MK + LK +LLK of the K3 sets it should be
possible to make a universal gloss + matte quad printer. At
the edge of coarse results though.

See:

for example

Price wise ordering MIS inks may be a better idea.
