“Continuous ink system (CIS) for Canon PIXMA iP4500 consists of a high-capacity ink reservoir holding about 8 ink cartridges equivalent of printer ink per each color that is attached to a cartridge via secure tubing. The tubing acts as a vacuum to extract printer ink from the reservoir and keep the cartridge full of ink. CIS cartridges have a permanent chip installed, which will automatically reset it when your printer power is turned off and back on.
Continuous Ink System comes with an abundance of printer ink to get you started. For your convenience, there is a filter built into the ink tank, to prevent outside agents from contaminating and affecting the print quality.
