What is the continuous ink supply system?

the ink cartridges sit inside a tray. that way it's using the same printhead all the time and doesn't need to be realigned every time you change a cartridge. the name is a bit misleading, but it is very easy to change cartridges.

I am not entirely sure other than what I've seen at Epson.com. Instead if cartridges there are fixed cartridges that are fed from bulk ink tanks I use the 77 cartridges

This may be something I haven't heard of. The standard ink supply is in 6 little cartridges.

If by "continuous feed" you mean does it automatically load the paper until the printing job is complete then the answer is yes. You will need the proper type of paper however. This printer is a beast. We call our first one Ole Betsy. She's 8 and still runs great everyday. Tip - toner ribbons are hard to find. Note - we haven't been able to get this printer to work with Windows 8. Epson needs to update the drivers.

I seriously doubt it... they're tiny carts and very cheaply made. The printer itself uses 1 cartridge for 3 cleanings then is all used up. These things are worthless in my view. I use the Continuous ink system on a canon i9100 and it works fantastically! Gigablock Bulk Continuous Ink System (CIS) for: Canon S800 S820D S830D I9100 (Related Cartridge # :BCI-6K, BCI-6C, BCI-6M, BCI-6Y, BCI-6PC, BCI-6PM)

Sorry, I can't tell you the answer to that question. I can only re-iterate how frustrating this was fine printer became after they upgraded the firmware to except only proprietary ink cartridges. In a word the print has become unreliable.

It comes with a full compliment of inks. You will enjoy the quality of this printer.

I don't remember the printer I bought this for as the ink system never worked and my printer never worked after I tried tit so I had to buy a new printer. I really don't know if the continuous ink had anything to do with my printer breaking or not.

I too am concerned that my colored ink continues to show that it is being used when we rarely use it. Can we run the MX700 without the color cartgridges installed?

I have never had an issue with this ink. Performs outstanding and looks great. I believe your system only requires 4 colors add this kit is for the six ink system. Good luck.

I am not sure. However, it is an ink hog like no other. What it does it does well but for the ink factor problem and I wouldn't buy it again. If I had to do it over I would look into some thing else.

I'm not too sure what you mean. The cartridges come as part of the whole system. Here is a link to an article I wrote about the process: http://frugalfoto.com/2013/04/24/save-on-ink-use-a-cis-system-in-your-printer-update/

This ink is for a "CISS" system. http://www.amazon.com/Gigablock-Continuous-Artisan-Printer-Cartridge/dp/B002V7QELO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-3&keywords=epson+artisan+710+ciss

Yes, this is the 'big' one. The PGI-5BK is the large ink tank used for regular black printing; the four smaller tanks (including one black for some reason) are CLI-8. I believe the smaller black ink is not an alternative, it is used only in printing pictures.

It uses two ink cartridges, one for black and another for color. When one of the colors runs out, it keeps printing, albeit poorly.

Besides ink, I bought a Waterman Fountain Pen Ink Converter which I can refill. In fact, I bought multiple of them so I can keep them filled with different color ink. Very convenient for me as I don't have to buy refill cartridges all the time.

I've also had some issues with printing repetitive sheets and it not having enough ink. The first thing to try is just running a printer cleaning cycle. If that doesn't work, I have removed the cartridges in the printer and sucked ink (using the supplied syringe that fits over the cartridge outlet on the bottom) into the cartridge and that seems to fix the lack of ink problem. I've been using the continuous ink system for over a year now and overall it has saved me hundreds of dollars with only a little maintenance issues.

If you have a continuous ink system you just put right in the ink reservoir. You can also put it into a cartridge but only in measure amount otherwise the cartridge may leak. You may also need to reset the chip on the cartridge or it will keep saying the ink levels are low despite plenty of ink in it.
