Best thing since sliced bread. - The Continuous ink System- this will change your life!!
*** please note- I am NOT selling anything ***
If you are not a professional that can afford to buy all original ink cartridges, than read this post carefully. I use a continuous ink system on one of my printers, and refillable cartridges for the others. The continuous ink system is a series of bottles that sit just outside the printer, and feed "phony" cartridges with silicone tubing. The bottles hold 5-10 cartridges worth of ink, and the whole system in most cases cost less than 1 set of ink cartridges. Please read my blurb along with photos on my site: http://www.geocities.com/rudedude121...nk_system.html I personally have saved over $4000CAD so far. Anticipating questions- here are some answers to FAQ: Buy a new printer that supports a popular CIS- do not look too hard for a CIS for your existing printer. Buy from a reputable company- Inks made in Japan are superior to those made elsewhere. Most companies only sell dye based ink- you will have to look harder for pigment based Yes, it voids the warranty- but so does buying another set of ink cartridges from the manufacturer- in most cases, the ink is as much or more money than the printer- so toss the printer away and get a new one with new cartridges, or do the planet and your wallet a favour and at least get your ink cartridges refilled. Don't stand outside the fire. (Garth Brooks) I have been using the same one for over 1½ years, and have pushed the printer itself to well beyond "personal use". - No printer trouble, no CIS trouble. Yes, it can be messy if you are not careful. Use thin gloves if you dont want ink on your hands when refilling the bottles. Yes, there are companies that sell ink as good as or better than the original. Yes, it is possible the colour may be off a tad, so more professional users may wish a profile. Yes, you can e-mail me with questions. Again- no, I do not sell them, and can only recommend the one I am currently using, as I have not tried others. I am living worry free from having to spend good money on cartridges. I print a lot for charity and my sons Scout group, friends and family. I encourage my wife and son to print what ever they want, when ever. How about you? I have not even gone into the environmental impact throwing spent cartridges away has on the planet- Google it and you will be astounded, shocked and perhaps (hopefully) disturbed. ....
