The process of installing and using this bulk flow system is extremely straight forward.

The final step is to insert the cartridges and fix the tubes onto the printer.

Continuous Ink Systems: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why would I want to add a continuous ink system (CIS) to my printer?A: Quite simply, to save money. If you print an 11 x 8.5 photo, you are using as much ink as 40 pages of text! - Using a CIS allows you to use a good quality photographic ink in bottles, which works out at around one fifth of the ink cost!  A: Don't worry, it comes completely assembled; the reservoirs are already connected to the tubes, and the tubes are already connected to the cartridges. Simply fill up the reservoirs with ink, take out a bung from each cartridge, pull the ink through using syringes provided, replace bungs and click the cartridges into the printer. Test for a perfect nozzle check, and Print!  A: On a desktop printer, the print head pulls ink from the cartridge using a charge of vacuum generated by the printer. A CIS changes the cartridge from being a single ink chamber into a cartridge connected by a tube to a larger ink tank. In use, the print head pulls ink from the cartridge, which is pulling ink from the tube, which pulls ink from the larger reservoir/tank. A: Take out the bung from this tank, insert a funnel that's provided, pour in your ink and re-insert the bung. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions. |

When the printer indicates a cartridge needs to be replaced, the cartridge light will appear above the "empty" cartridge. To extinguish this, simply lift the cartridge out slightly and re-seat, the light then disappear enabling you to carry on printing.
This reset procedure means you should only need to check the physical ink levels in the reservoirs and ignore the levels on the printers' status monitor. The system is ideal for high production users who need a fast and reliable volume printing.
