Du kan finde meget her om CIS systemer, og vi er flere i Danmark, der
anvender Lyson ink.

Der skal imidlertid et vist forbrug til, før det er en god idé at
anvende et CIS system.
Således skrev Tony Martin:
Finally, don’t consider a bulk ink feed attachment unless you
regularly do a fair amount of printing. If you only do a couple of
prints a week, these systems are not for you since the ink in the
reservoirs will go out-of-date before you use it. A good rule of thumb
is, if you use more than a cartridge set each week, a bulk feed will
save you money and work reliably.
Ask questions
Don’t be afraid to ask awkward questions when selecting a printer, an
ink type or a media. Any reliable supplier should be able to answer
most queries and back up their products with factual information. In
summary, here are a few points to remember.
• Do not be misled by OEM publicity regarding poor quality third-party
products. Remember these guys make a huge percentage of their profits
from consumables.
• Choose between pigments and dyes wisely. The choice is a compromise
between color quality and longevity. For extreme long life
requirements, pigments are the way to go, but they have reduced color
quality when compared to dyes. For very good life and great color, go
with the dyes.
• Don’t be fooled by color gamut comparison charts. Ask to see direct
comparison prints on the media you want to use. • Avoid using pigment
inks in printers designed for dyes. It can work, but often ends in
tears.
• For longevity, always use products matched as a “system” or have
been tested together. Ask for details on the test methods used, and
use that common sense when interpreting the results.
Some manufacturers have pushed the longevity envelope too far, too
quickly. While they supply long-lasting ink products, the inks
disappoint in terms of color rendition.
• Only use a bulk ink feed device if you regularly produce prints
(e.g., exhaust a cartridge ink set weekly). Avoid systems that aren’t
primed or that require major modifications to your printer.
