** We searched the internet extensively for a 500ml bottle of
Sublijet without success. The closest we could get to a 500ml
bottle for comparison is a 440ml
set of SubliJet-IQ QuickConnect inks from transferit.com. We
divided the cost of the set $519 by 440ml in order to obtain the cost
per ml ($1.17) and then multiplied by 500ml in order to obtain he cost
of an hypothetical 500ml of ink. We then reduced the total price by an
estimated $50.00 to adjust for for labor and materials involved in
filling the pouches with bulk ink. The pricing information we used for
our calculations was obtained on 01/26/2006 at
http://www.transferit.net/pages/SJ/EPSON/C8486ink.html
