Here’s how it works:
- Ink Reservoirs: A CISS includes external ink reservoirs that are connected to the printer’s ink cartridges. These reservoirs are usually larger than the standard ink cartridges that come with the printer.
- Ink Tubes: Special ink tubes or hoses connect the external reservoirs to the ink cartridges within the printer. These tubes are designed to transport ink from the external reservoirs to the cartridges as needed.
- Cartridge Modification: The standard ink cartridges are often modified or replaced with specialized cartridges that are compatible with the CISS system. These cartridges have openings or ports for connecting to the ink tubes.
- Continuous Ink Flow: The CISS continuously supplies ink to the cartridges, ensuring that the printer always has an adequate ink supply. This eliminates the need to frequently replace individual cartridges.
Benefits of using a CISS system include:
- Cost Savings: CISS can significantly reduce the cost per page printed, as the cost of bulk ink is generally lower than that of individual ink cartridges.
- Convenience: Users don’t need to worry about running out of ink and replacing cartridges frequently. CISS systems are especially beneficial for high-volume printing.
- Reduced Waste: CISS reduces the number of empty ink cartridges that end up in landfills, making it an environmentally friendly option.
