What is an Ink System?

In each of the four ink systems, there are three separate components that work
together. The components of each ink system are color-coded to help you install
them correctly.

Ink Cartridge

Each ink cartridge is a large-capacity ink supply that refills the printhead whenever
the ink volume in the printhead drops below a minimum level.

Printhead

The printhead has a 600-dpi thermal inkjet head for firing ink droplets onto the
media and a reservoir which holds enough ink for several prints. The actual number
of prints between refills depends on the size and type of images you are printing.

Printhead Cleaner

The printer uses the printhead cleaner to clean and maintain the printhead to ensure
best possible image quality, and to seal the printhead when not in use to ensure long
life.
