NoMoreCarts CIS: Continuous Inking Systems of North Carolina started marketing their
continuous inking system (CIS) for selected Epson inkjet printers soon after MIS launched
theirs. The NoMoreCarts CIS can be purchased through dealers who offer it either under
that name or as a rebranded item such as InkjetArtery from inkjetART.com or LumiFlo
Fluidic Ink Delivery System from Luminos. With these CIS systems, the cartridge chips
for the newer printers always read full, they require no separate chip resetters, and they can
run with any type of computer-printer connection regardless of the platform (Mac or PC)
or OS. CIS systems from dealers usually come complete with a set of introductory inks.
Other popular bulk-ink systems include: Camel Ink Systems CRS (by WeInk),
JetBlaster, and a bulk-ink system by American Imaging (see Figure 7.8).
Keep in mind that only specific printer models (mostly Epsons and some Canons for desktop)
are adaptable for bulk-ink delivery use, depending on the physical design of the
printer housing and, more importantly, the method of bypassing the printer’s designated
ink cartridges. Check with each manufacturer or dealer to make sure your intended printer
is on the list.
Figure 7.8 American Imaging’s bulkink
system for Epson 7600/9600 has
an ingenious design with no tubes
and no worries about correct ink
reservoir height, which can sometimes
cause problems.
