Hello,
At thINK4inc, we thought the continuous ink systems or continuous ink feed
or ink supply systems were great. Ounce per ounce they offered unbeatable
savings for your Epson inkjet printer.
There were some early problems. The pigments and body of ink actually comes
from milled substances, like very finely ground powder. Epson ink requires
very fine milling because of the really tiny print head orifices. Cheap ink
will clog an Epson print head as quick as you run it in. This issue was
overcome by finding a different ink supplier.
Now that they've been out there for a while though, another problem has
become apparent. Either due to UV radiation or the ink itself, the plastic
ink reserviors and ink feed tubes are deteriorating.
In this condition, ink can start leaking all over the place, especially
inside your printer. And we all know that is bad news.
So if you own a continuous ink system, check the feed tube fittings at your
print head for signs of hardness, cracking or leakage. Consider going back
to cartridges.
If you were thinking of buying a continuous ink system, hold off for now.
We have to find someone that can supply a higher quality, longer lasting
system.
And believe us, if we haven't found it yet, neither has anyone else.
Happy Printing!
