Troubleshooting, service and maintenance for CISS printers

CISS printers are printers which have ink recepients that can be continuosly loaded by the user, without having to buy new cartridges, like you need with standard ink printers.

CISS printers are much better than standard ink printers for the following reasons:

  • printing costs are reduced with up to 90-95 percent thanks to the small ink price;
  • CISS printers quality is the same as for standard printers and it isn’t reduced after every recharge;
  • CISS printers are very easy to use and they do not require dedicated assistance for re-charging;

Even these printers need periodically maintenance which can ensure the printer running without problems. We will first discuss about Epson CISS printers and later we will follow-up with other printers models.

At a certain point, depending on the printing number, CISS Epson printers reach the end of their life-span. In other words, their system is configured to work only for a specific number of printings. What you can do is to reset the printing counter.

This counter can be reset only using WIC Reset, a free software. But, for each reset you need to buy a code for which you need to pay but it is not expensive.
