It’s no secret that a lot of Filipinos opt to have CISS or Continuous Ink Supply System installed on their inkjet printers. Why not? You don’t have to buy those expensive cartridges with bottled inks being more affordable.
Instead of letting third-party CISS vendors make a Frankenstein out of their printers, Epson released their own CISS printers or what they call ink tank printers. The Epson L-series printers address the problems encountered when having a third-party CISS installed on a printer: warranty voids, ink spillage when transporting, printer head clogging, and color accuracy problems.
The Epson L-series printers feature Epson’s FIT (Fast Ink Top-up) technology that is made up of three specially designed components: 1) the Epson Ink Tanks, 2) special ink tubes and 3) a choke valve, all of which allow for easy ink refilling as well as convenient transportation of the printers.
The Epson Micro Piezo print head found in the Epson L-series printers achieves a maximum print resolution of 5760 x 1440 dpi and its variable size droplet technology (VSDT) allows the print head to eject ink droplets in three sizes. These capabilities ensure the greatest detail and extremely smooth gradations in photographs.
If you’re wondering about the cost, it’s just slightly more expensive than a printer and a CISS installation setup. The most basic L-series printer, L100, is priced at Php7,800. However, ink bottles are priced at Php265 per piece, Php15 more than your ink refill plus you are sure to get quality ink for your printer.
