I need ur help guys.

I have a printer canon mp145.
The prob is when i print, sometimes the colour getting less (with external tank's lid ON).

Then i take OFF the lid, the color return to normal for a some time.
Then the prob repeat, and i repeat the solution (put back on the tank lid).

For a standard printer, should the lid be OPENED or CLOSED?
What seems to be the problem?
Im getting annoyed.

mp145 comes with external tank or you upgrade it? my Epson L300, no need to open the lid..

CISS?

alternative solution, get 4 syringe. 1 syringe for each color. inject them directly into the cartridge hole.

once u feel used up quite a lot already, refill. hassle-free. except when refilling.

open when want to use, close if not use?

upgrade sir

Supposed to be like that?
Never know.

any instruction when you buy it? you buy online ka?

Man...sometimes refilling the external tank is messy enuf....
Huhu..
Btw, will try that..

Low ink got warning display on printer, or we detect on our own?

yess

Nope.
My bday present.
But the sender didnt put any manual inside.
I simply try and error (what could ever gone wrong if u just wanna print? Just plug and print maaann <- my thought before)

no warning display. just assume by yourself.

Hmm..
That sure takes quite a lot of experience huhu..

Aiyoyo. Throw the printrer with the tank away.
Get the cheapest Epson with ink tank model. Should cost RM300 only.
Better than CISS

Ciss was trendy back then..

Yeah, new models from epson ink tank and HP ink jet have affordable refills now.

and that CISS is messy...very difficult to maintain, no support, sometimes wake up, half the tank is gone, countless cleaning and blowing the tank with a straw, and pity seeing ppl bring back the printers with CISS to the shop for repairs.

I agree, Epson's factory built in CISS works good. After market CISS are crapshoots. Can work (rarely). But frequently not. When it does not, you have problems. Problems that wastes a lot of your time.

Then there are those Brother printers, with gigantic cartridges. They have those aftermarket cartridges that are so big, the printer door cannot be closed. But with the advantage that you can see the ink level in the cartridge, and you can refill the ink without removing the cartridge from the printer.

dkk
Does Epson's factory built in CISS will not have problem with printer head ? I used before , most aftermark CISS printer head having problem using CISS.

Still no suggestion on cheap ink solution ?

Does ciss on epson ink water resistance ?
