The Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) significantly reduces inkjet printing costs by about 90%, while maintaining print quality. CISS operates by delivering ink from a large tank to a printhead and includes components like an ink tank, tubes, and cartridges. Although beneficial in cost and environmental impact, installing CISS may void printer warranties and the use of low-quality ink can damage print heads.

1. CISS
(Continuous Ink Supply System)
Domestic Ink-Jet Printing Cost Reducing by 90%

2. What is CISS ??
A Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) is an automatic
ink refill system in Inkjet Printing, in which method liquid
ink is delivered from an Ink tank (Large Volume) to a
comparatively small Printhead.

3. History of CISS
The first application of the Continuous Ink Supply System
(CISS) is dated 1993-94.
First CISS was installed on Nova-Jet plotters by En-Cad
Company.
The Construction principle of CISS which exists at that
moment is still being used in the Modern CISS.

4. What are the components of CISS ??
There are 3 basic components in the Continuous Ink
Supply System (CISS).
That is:
1. Ink Tank;
2. Tube;
3. Cartridge.

7. What is the Principle of CISS ??
Liquid flow from higher pressure to lower pressure.

10. How CISS works ??

11. What are the basics
Requirements for CISS Printer ??
1. Separate Print heads (not part of Cartridge);
2. Enough space & clearance for ink tubing to run freely;
3. Good Print Head Cleaning mechanism;
4. CISS compatible Cartridges available.

12. What are the Benefits of CISS ??
1. Reducing the printing cost by about 90% without
compromising on the Printing Quality.
2. There is no more changing the Ink Cartridge too
frequently and no need of tedious Ink Re-filling.
3. Even good quality and High-end Printers' price have
fallen because of CISS.
4. No worries of Ink running out as we are able to see the
Ink Level of the tank.

13. What is the Efficiency of CISS ??
1. The Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) is efficient
too besides being a cheap purchase.
2. While printing through the Continuous Ink Supply
System (CISS), the wastage of ink is less than using
Inkjet Cartridge.
3. This Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) also
increases the lifespan of the quantity of ink.

14. Cheaper Option of CISS
1. Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) is cheaper than
the traditional types of Ink Cartridges.
2. Purchasing an ink refill in bulk costs very less, than
buying Ink Cartridges.
3. Using Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) to print at
a lower cost without compromising the Print Quality of
the work.

15. What are the Environmental
Benefits of CISS ??
1. The Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) is much
more Environment friendly than using traditional
types of Ink cartridges.
2. Using CISS, Ink cartridge is re-used rather than
replacement; which reduces the Plastic Wastage.

16. What is disadvantage of CISS ??
1. Installing CISS voids warranty of the Printer;
2. The print-head can get defective if low quality ink is
used.
