š§ Mix-and-Match Ink System for Maximum Flexibility

You can mix or match 800 mL and 1.5 L ink bags, giving your team complete control over ink usage and cost management. Smaller 800 mL bags are perfect for specialty color runs or lower-volume media, while the 1.5 L bags minimize changeovers during long print runs.

š¹ Benefits of the new ink system
-
Reduced downtime: Fewer ink replacements on long jobs
-
Lower operating costs: Larger bags reduce cost per mL
-
Eco-friendly packaging: Less plastic waste per liter of ink
-
Consistent performance: Compatible with S9170 inks for easy integration
