10 best MFPs with CISS

An inkjet-type MFP with con­tin­u­ous ink sup­ply does not need to con­stant­ly replace car­tridges. The built-in mech­a­nism with valves that pro­tect against ink spills is respon­si­ble for the qual­i­ty of the prints. The devices are used at home and in the office. Our rank­ing of MFPs with CISS for home use is based on tech­ni­cal char­ac­ter­is­tics, user require­ments and includes the best mod­els.

How to choose a good MFP with CISS support

MFPs with CISS sup­port are easy to main­tain and man­age. Inkjet devices are designed to sup­ply ink con­tin­u­ous­ly to avoid white spots. Fre­quent use of the device pre­vents the ink from dry­ing out. When choos­ing, tech­ni­cal char­ac­ter­is­tics are tak­en into account.

Scanner resolution

The opti­mal indi­ca­tor is 1200–2400 dpi. An MFP with this res­o­lu­tion can be used at home and in the office. When scan­ning pho­tos, a high­er val­ue is required.

Print speed

For domes­tic needs, this para­me­ter is not as impor­tant as for use in the office. Suit­able bud­get device with a basic set of func­tions. Although the speed of some mod­els reach­es 26 ppm.

Print resolution

To work with text, you can refuse to print in high res­o­lu­tion. A device with an indi­ca­tor of 600 dpi will do. But for pho­tos, a high­er res­o­lu­tion is required — from 1200 dpi.

Paper size

MFPs with CISS sup­port allow you to work with dif­fer­ent cat­e­gories of doc­u­ments.

The paper size used is:

• A4 — a pop­u­lar view;
• А3, А3+ – pre­sen­ta­tion mate­ri­als;
• A5 — note­books, notepads, adver­tis­ing book­lets;
• A6 — for print­ing fly­ers, post­cards and leaflets.

In rare cas­es, paper sizes are used: B5, B6, C5, C6.

Connection method

The choice of tech­nol­o­gy depends on the avail­able con­nec­tion inter­faces:

• pair­ing a net­work cable with a PC will speed up the search by the oper­at­ing sys­tem for equip­ment for installing soft­ware. The inter­face allows you to cre­ate pho­tos from a dig­i­tal cam­era;
• WIFI. Allows you to con­trol the device from mobile devices;
• Air­Print wire­less print­ing is suit­able for iPad and iPhone own­ers;
• SD card read­er. Respon­si­ble for read­ing mem­o­ry cards and sheet feed­ing.

When buy­ing, the brand of print­ing equip­ment is tak­en into account. Ver­i­fied man­u­fac­tur­ers of inkjet MFPs: HP, CANON, Epson.

Fazil Z. Price qual­i­ty. Ease of set­up. The ink will last a long time.

Price quality

The cat­e­go­ry includes MFPs with a high lev­el of per­for­mance. Mod­els process paper media of dif­fer­ent den­si­ty and have a high print res­o­lu­tion.

1. Epson L3150

The inkjet type MFP with CISS is a com­pact device with easy-to-refill ink con­tain­ers. Epson L3150 can print and scan when con­nect­ed to WI-FI. Print­ing of 10x15 pho­tos with­out bor­ders and set­ting up a con­tin­u­ous ink sup­ply sys­tem are pro­vid­ed. The MFP scans at a res­o­lu­tion of 1200x2400 dpi and makes copies at a speed of 20 images per cycle.

2. Epson L4160

Epson L4160, like the pre­vi­ous mod­el, com­bines the func­tions of a copi­er, scan­ner and print­er. Due to the per­for­mance of the mod­el, the print speed increas­es (in mono­chrome for­mat — up to 33 ppm with a res­o­lu­tion of 5760x1440 dpi). The same res­o­lu­tion and when cre­at­ing col­or print­outs, which improves the qual­i­ty of the pho­to.

By sup­port­ing the Epson Con­nect appli­ca­tion, it is pos­si­ble to con­nect the machine to a smart­phone and PC, which makes it pos­si­ble to work remote­ly. Pro­vides print­ing on both sides. The MFP is designed to han­dle matte/glossy paper, envelopes and card stock from 64–256 g/m².

Vladimir P. But there are plus­es, Canon print­ed 20 pho­tos in 4.5 and demand­ed a replace­ment car­tridge at a cost of more than 3 sput, which was enough for anoth­er 50 pho­tos. There is clear­ly 20 times more ink here and they cost the same amount cheap­er

Smirnov O. Bought for print­ing doc­u­ments and this role per­forms per­fect­ly

3. HP Smart Tank 515

The device is man­u­fac­tured using inno­v­a­tive tech­nolo­gies and ensures the qual­i­ty of print­outs. To save con­sum­ables, a set of inks is pro­vid­ed, designed for 3 years of oper­a­tion of the MFP. Built-in WI-FI guar­an­tees fast con­nec­tion. Installing the HP Smart app improves the user expe­ri­ence.

The HP Smart Tank 515 is suit­able for home and small offices, as well as those who need to print a large num­ber of text doc­u­ments while sav­ing on con­sum­ables. Mobile print­ing and scan­ning avail­able.

Advan­tages:

• low ink con­sump­tion;
• con­nec­tions via wi-fi;

Kon­stan­tin Piter­sky Great print­er for high vol­ume print­ing. Espe­cial­ly text doc­u­ments, you can just print a moun­tain of them. Even a child can refu­el.

Timur G. The print­er is con­nect­ed via WiFi. Every time we start a doc­u­ment for print­ing, we play the lot­tery — the print­er will con­nect imme­di­ate­ly or it will have to be reboot­ed sev­er­al times. A sys­tem­at­ic solu­tion to this prob­lem has not yet been found. Every­thing else suits

Premium class

The rat­ing is com­plet­ed by the best MFPs for the home with pre­mi­um class CISS brand Epson. Mod­els are high-per­for­mance, ergonom­ic and con­ve­nient in oper­a­tion.

1. Epson L5190

The device com­bines the func­tions of a scan­ner with auto­mat­ic sheet feed­er, print­er, copi­er and fax. In addi­tion, they sup­port net­work and wire­less print­ing. It is worth not­ing the pro­duc­tiv­i­ty of the MFP — up to 33 ppm and the abil­i­ty to use paper with a den­si­ty of 64–256 g / m².

Embod­ied in the Epson L5190 piezo­elec­tric inkjet tech­nol­o­gy, guar­an­tees the high­est print qual­i­ty by con­trol­ling the size of the ink droplets. As in the Epson L4160 mod­el, the print­heads pro­vide a res­o­lu­tion of 5760x1440 dpi. The ergonom­ic con­trol pan­el with an intu­itive inter­face is easy to use.

Advan­tages:

• con­nec­tion to a wi-fi router;
• remote print­ing;
• ergonom­ic inter­face;
• auto sheet feed when scan­ning.

Flaws:

• price.

fan­tik Over the last week of dis­tance learn­ing, the child had to write a lot of papers by hand, in order to make her life eas­i­er dur­ing the hol­i­days, she bought an MFP and for 2 weeks of the sec­ond quar­ter, every oth­er day, she was def­i­nite­ly glad that there was this tech­nique.

Sergey Of course, I wish there was a waste ink con­tain­er that could be emp­tied quick­ly.

2. Epson L850

The MFP is an inno­v­a­tive pho­to cen­ter with an ergonom­ic touch screen and ink con­tain­ers instead of car­tridges. Thanks to the CISS with 6 con­tain­ers, you can use CD / DVD, cards and pho­to paper for work. The machine scans, copies and prints pho­tos at a low cost.

Epson L850 sup­ports Pict­Bridge and USB for mobile device oper­a­tion. A copi­er with a res­o­lu­tion of 2400x1200 dpi makes 99 copies in one cycle. The scan­ner allows you to get copies with the same res­o­lu­tion on smart­phones and PCs. A fea­ture of the print­er is the print­ing speed (in col­or — 5–38 ppm, in mono­chrome — 5–37 ppm).

Advan­tages

• reli­able;
• ergonom­ic dis­play;
• pho­to qual­i­ty;
• print­ing cost.

Flaws:

• no con­nec­tion to wi-fi;

Alex Nebolsin A nor­mal print­er to replace the PX660 WITH THE SAME func­tions was only added by the CISS and the price is, of course, exor­bi­tant, but giv­en that the PX660 worked for me for 11 years with­out break­downs (I drove it to the fullest), if this mod­el is just as reli­able, then we can agree with the price , but you under­stand there are no guar­an­tees .…

Yuri Sychev Works great. Prints fast. The pho­to qual­i­ty is good.

3. Epson L4167

Epson L417 is a mul­ti­func­tion­al device that com­bines per­for­mance and design. The mod­el per­forms the func­tions of a scan­ner, print­er and copi­er. The device is made on the basis of inkjet tech­nol­o­gy, so it prints col­or doc­u­ments with a res­o­lu­tion of 5760x1440 dpi.

The speed of work in col­or mode is 15 ppm, and in black and white — 33 ppm. A fea­ture of Epson L4167 is the pres­ence of a built-in card read­er and sup­port for the duplex func­tion. The front ink tanks are equipped with an inno­v­a­tive “InkLock” valve that pre­vents ink spills. The improved fill­ing mech­a­nism facil­i­tates machine main­te­nance.

Advan­tages:

• design;
• eco­nom­i­cal con­sump­tion;
• easy main­te­nance;
• input for a mem­o­ry card.

Flaws:

• noisy print­ing.
