Ink Cartrdige Conspiracy!

Printer Manufacturers make their money from "giving away the razors and selling the blades". They make tiny margins on the printers themselves, then cash in by selling massively overpriced cartridges, using the ploy that you'll invalidate your warranty if you use other cartridges or inks. Don't fall for it! The risk of damage to your printer is miniscule and there is rarely any difference in print quality.

About Continuous Ink Systems

A Continuous Ink System (CIS) is a cost-effective replacement for ink-jet printer cartridges. In contrast to conventional cartridges, a CIS uses very large ink tanks, which are connected with tubes to the print head nozzles. The tanks can be conveniently refilled from an ink bottle – there is no need for syringes and you never need to buy ink cartridges again! CIS has now become a firm favourite with both amateur and professional photographers alike, greatly reducing printing costs without sacrificing quality. CIS is also known as Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS), Continuous Ink Flow System and bulk ink. Although many CIS kits are not cheap, regular users of ink cartridges or printing services will soon find themselves saving a fortune on printing costs. If you only print out a tiny handful of photos each year, then CIS may not be worth the initial investment, but if you print out photos on a regular basis, you will quickly find huge savings from buying a CIS.

 

Advantages Include...

• Greatly reduce inkjet printing costs with CIS.
• Never "run out" of ink so long as you keep the ink tank topped up!
• Never replace an ink cartridge again.
• Save money, time and hassle
• Save the environment too!
• No wasted ink – when using normal cartridges there is always ink left in the cartridge when it reads 'empty'. With CIS, they always read "Full".
• Protect the environment, save money. Say goodbye to buying expensive ink cartridges - this will result in fantastic savings (over 50p on every A4 print!).
• Stable quality - The sealed system uses no sponge cartridges and ensures maximum ink flow in the course of printing.
• Simple installation, easy to fit on to your printer and start using right away - systems come with step by step instructions (installation takes just 30 minutes on average).
• Once installed you never have to remove cartridges from the printer again. Easy, trouble free, low-maintenance operation.
• Once installed, the cost of "fuelling" your printer is dramatically reduced as you simply purchase bottles of ink – and paper of course!

A continuous ink supply system replaces the need to buy and change inks cartridges. Ideal for high volume use, once CIS is set up it works out far cheaper to run than using normal ink cartridges. Depending on your printer, you have 4-8 tanks of ink, which sit beside the printer, with tubes running into dummy ink cartridges, which plug into the printer as normal. There is a line running from the cartridge to the tanks and it continually supplies the printer with ink from the tanks. When the tanks are running low you simply top them up with ink, which can be bought in bulk very cheaply.
