Frequently Asked Questions

Continuous Ink Systems

Our Continuous Ink Systems for Epson InkJet printers come empty (except the Epson R1800 CIS) with the tubes attached and Auto Reset Chips. Estimated installation time is 30 minutes. Cartridges draw ink from 4oz bottles kept next to the printer. Once installed, there is no need to ever buy cartridges again. CIS offer tremendous savings! They are 10 times less expensive than cartridges!!

Resetting

The CIS for the C86/C88/C88+/R200/R220/R300/R320/1280/R1800 printers have Auto Reset chips on the cartridges. Resetting of the Epson monitoring system is accomplished by powering off the printer, then turning it back on again.

Contents

The empty system consists of a set of empty cartridges with tubes attached, auto reset chips, drilled bottle caps, 2 tubing brackets, a vacuum pump assembly for filling and installation instructions. The inks are not included in the price. We offer a specially designed ink for Heat Transfer application and another Ultrachrome Equivalent ink designed for making archival pigmented prints on matte, semi gloss and glossy papers. These empty cartridges will work fine with most dyebase, pigment, or dyesublimation inks. They will not work with solvent based inks.

The Epson R1800 CIS comes pre-filled with ink in addition to the same items as the empty CIS.
