All About Epson Continuous Ink Printers
Epson supplies high quality printers. However, even its products must be carefully selected. And to do this, you first need to find out everything about Epson printers with a continuous ink supply system.
Peculiarities
Inkjet printers with CISS, especially models of the new generation, are head and shoulders above traditional modifications with cartridges. The use of continuous ink dispensing systems guarantees savings not only in money but also in time. Finally, simply adding fluids to a container is much easier and less tedious than rearranging cartridges that still have to be purchased elsewhere. Of course, this opportunity will especially delight people who have to print a lot and often.
Epson is actively introducing complexes of continuous ink supply. First of all, we are talking about the advanced line "Printing Factory". But one must understand that the cost of models in this line is 2 or even 3 times higher than that of analogs with autonomous feeders.
But there is continuous access to such CISS. It becomes possible to add ink without interrupting the printing process.
Therefore, it is, indeed, an uninterrupted solution. The designers have also taken care of the increased ergonomics of the device. Branded CISS from Epson take up relatively little space. Some versions are made in the form of a block, which is placed even at a distance from the printer to free up space on the table. But at the same time it will be necessary to carefully monitor that they are on the same level - otherwise the ink will flow unpredictably.
It is also worth mentioning such properties of complexes with CISS, such as:
- reduction in the cost of one sheet of text or one photograph;
- increased (in comparison with cartridge modifications) productivity;
- improved print quality (since the pressure in the ink line is more stable);
- increased system resource;
- the need to carry containers more carefully, since it is much easier to stain something with liquid from "cans" than with traditional cartridges.

How to refuel?
Before pumping the ink, plug the smaller hole with a plug. Next, liquid is poured into the larger hole. When this is done, open a small hole and insert the air filter. Never let the ink tanks rise above the cartridges. This will flood the print head and electronic devices with ink. Containers should ideally be placed flush with the plane of the printer. Care must be taken to ensure that the air membranes are not humidified. Otherwise, the filters cannot fulfill their function. Then you will have to remove the membranes, and then operate the printers without them. But everything is not always so simple - you need to know the nuances of pumping ink in difficult cases.
If problems arise, first clean the printer. If this does not work, you will need to remove the ink tank. Remove the top cover that covers it. Most often, you need to unscrew the screw and switch a couple of small latches.
For everything to be normal, at the first start, you need to fill the external tanks and allow the entire system to be pumped for about 20 minutes.
If this is not allowed, automation gives commands for regular cleaning. They will follow one after the other, preventing the use of the printer. The diaper counter will also lock gradually. To pump ink manually, you must issue a command through a proprietary application. If the old system begins to suck in air, you will have to:
- dismantle the ink block and turn it over;
- insert the nozzle of a disposable syringe without a needle into the hole;
- open the valve of the head union by this pressing;
- pull the piston towards you;
- move the syringe in different directions to speed up the pumping of ink;
- continue this procedure until they enter the syringe instead of air.
How to connect?
Success in refueling Epson printers directly depends on how competently the NPH systems themselves are installed (connected). There are three main stages of work:
- assembly of the complex and its filling with ink;
- running ink along the train;
- pulling the cable along the printer body (together with the installation of the cartridge unit in the carriage).
To exclude the ingress of foreign objects, it is advisable to rinse the containers with distilled water prior to assembly. Then you need to wait until they dry. Recommendation: no drying is necessary when using a special cleaning fluid. The sequence of colors when assembling the loop must not be disturbed; it may differ from printer to printer. Sometimes you have to re-stick the stickers on the donor containers. The next step is filling in ink. Usually the funnels included in the delivery set are used for this. However, in the absence of them, there is a way out - you need to fill the system with syringes. The volume should be filled to 80-90% maximum.
When this is done, the holes are tightly plugged and the funnels are washed to make them suitable for refueling.
