The Old Tin Shed

Hey all, been a little while since I did an update on the CISS system I have installed on my primary network. I have an epson workforces 840, with wireless networking.  I purchased this printer because of its ability to duplex on the fly and to auto scan and fax.  To be honest its an amazing printer, we regularly print border less A4 photos off this machine, and we have them up all over the house.  To put it simply the CISS has made this a real possibility.  If I was paying for standard cartridges or even refills there is no way we could have afforded to print the number that we have. It really came into its own when a customer required full color hand outs for a promotion they were doing.  We printed a couple thousand of these and the CISS made it very cheap to do. The savings are great.  The whole CISS system including inks with the kit were around $100, I only purchased refills a month ago.  For $100 I have 2 full fill ups ...

Hey all.  As you know I have a fully operational EPSON Workforce 840, using a CISS ink system. I know that there have been  a few articles written about this printer and its ability to print A4 high quality prints.  One person went as far to say that it was blurry and there was no use wasting the paper.  No I can tell you without a word of a lie, that using the CISS system, I printed some very high quality prints tonight in full borderless  A4.  The ink dried quicky and the color reproduction is very very good.  I will say it walked all over the canon printer that I had prior.  Now of course the great thing about this is that I can print as many as I like as the CISS provides far more ink than the standard cartridge did.  I had to reset the black chip this afternoon.  Which means I would have had to replace another black cartridge but I dont and I love the fact that I dont have to :) So if your still unsure or are worried I can...

Just an update to the previous post about CISS and printer choice.  I installed the CISS last week and I have to admit I cant tell the difference with the print at all.  The install was relatively simple, they provided a youtube link for install CISS on my printer model. It works well the only obvious thing about the printer that would give away that I am using  a CISS system is that the lid of my printer is open about 4mm to allow the feeder tube through.  If I was going to choose a printer next time I would get one with a stationary ink cartridge system, just a little simpler again. Other than that I love it done some heavy printing and it copes no worries at all.  I just took a great printer and made it fantastic.  One very happy customer. Give it a go its well worth it.
