Q: How does it work? |
| |
| A: In very simple terms, robust ribbon tubing is fixed to the cartridges and travels back and forth in line with the print head. Continuous ink is drawn out of the cartridges via the 125ml bottles or containers which sit outside the pinter. The system does not touch the inside of the printer and does not affect the usual printer operation in any way. |

| Q: Lyson CIS Installation - simple terms |
| |
A: All of our systems come with full, illustrated, step by step instructions. Here is a very basic breakdown of the installation process:
• Outside of the printer, using the funnels supplied, fill each container with the correct ink- (5 minutes approx)
• Take each cartridge and using the syringe and pull the ink through for each channel (3 minutes approx)
• Remove the Cartridge Cover (3 minutes approx)
• Place cartridges into the print head - These are held in by friction pad(s) (2 minutes approx)
• Attach the CIS arm support (2 minutes approx)
• Now enjoy printing at a fraction of the cost!

| Q:Does it matter at what height the ink bottles/containers are? |
| |
| A: Yes, you must always keep the ink bottles at the same height as the printer! If your bottles/containers are at a higher level than the printer, you may experience ink pooling on the paper. If your ink bottles/containers are below the height of the printer, the ink may be pulled out of the nozzles due to a lack of pressure, which, may affect your printers' nozzle check. So, once again, You must always keep the ink bottles/containers at the same height as the printer! |
| |
| Q:
When should I refill the reservoir bottles/containers? |
| |
| A: Never let your bottles/containers run out! Always make sure your bottles/containers are at least a third full and we always recommend you keep a spare set of bottles. This is one of the main reasons why photographers experience poor output. So refill your bottles when they are no less than a third full. |
| |
| Q: An Ink Reservoir has Run Dry |
| |
| A: If one of your bottles/containers is empty, you will first need to fill your container with the correct ink and then reprime your cartridge. For a step by step guide for how to re-prime your cartridge, see here. |
