How to Get the Best Results with a Continuous Ink Supply System (CIS) – InkProducts Inc
If you're looking to reduce printing costs without sacrificing quality, a Continuous Ink Supply System (CIS) is your best option. At InkProducts Inc, we offer top-rated CIS kits and high-quality ink bottles compatible with a wide range of inkjet printers. This guide will help you understand how to use a CIS correctly for long-term savings and reliable performance.
What Is a Continuous Ink Supply System (CIS)?
A CIS (Continuous Ink Supply System) uses large external ink tanks connected to your printer through tubing, providing a continuous flow of ink. Instead of replacing cartridges frequently, you refill the tanks using compatible dye-based or pigment ink bottles from InkProducts Inc. Our Ultra Pro True Color inks are designed for smooth, vivid output.
How to Use a CIS Effectively
1. Install the CIS Kit Correctly
Start by carefully installing your InkProducts Inc CIS kit. The ink tanks should be level with the printer, and tubing must be securely clipped in place to avoid twisting or bending. Follow the printer-specific instructions included with your system. A correct installation prevents leaks and ensures smooth ink delivery.
2. Prevent Air Bubbles in the Tubing
Air bubbles can interrupt ink flow and cause missing colors or streaks. Always keep ink levels above the minimum line and run a priming cycle if bubbles appear. InkProducts Inc provides syringes and tools to help purge air safely.
3. Refill with High-Quality Ink
Use only compatible ink that matches your printer model. Our Ultra Pro True Color Pigment and Dye-Based Inks are designed for use with HP, Epson, Brother, and Canon printers. We sell inks in 70ml, 250ml, and 500ml bottles for easy, mess-free refills.
4. Disable Automatic Firmware Updates
Printer manufacturers sometimes release firmware updates that block third-party cartridges or cause watermark printing. If you use InkProducts Inc cartridges or CIS kits, disable firmware updates to avoid compatibility issues. If a watermark appears after an update, contact us—we’ll send instructions to remove it.
5. Maintain the System Regularly
Print a nozzle check every few weeks. If you notice broken lines or missing colors, run a cleaning cycle. Avoid excessive cleaning, as it wastes ink. Our CIS kits are designed for minimal maintenance when used with our compatible refill ink.
