The Continuous Ink System consists of a high-capacity ink reservoir (same as using between 5-8 ink cartridges per color) that is attached to a cartridge via secure tubing. The tubing acts as a vacuum to extract ink from the reservoir and keep the cartridge full of ink. Because of the large reservoir capacity, you can print for an extended period of time without running low right away. There is a red line on the reservoir to indicate when it is time to refill.

Each Continuous Ink System comes complete with easy-to-follow instructions, ink, and all accessories needed to successfully use the system. The included Continuous Ink System cartridges have a permanent smart chip already installed, which will automatically reset itself when your printer power is turned off (for 5 seconds) and turned back on. No mess! No leaking!

With Continuous Ink System you will receive an abundance of ink to get you started:

• 167 ml Black ink
• 92 ml Cyan ink
• 92 ml Magenta ink
• 127 ml Yellow ink
• 92 ml Light Cyan ink
• 92 ml Light Magenta ink

For your convenience, there is a filter built into the ink tank, to prevent outside agents from contaminating and/or affecting the quality of your prints.
