We had a continuous flow system in our digital lab for a while; we did save money on ink. However, the system caused more problems than it solved. We were constantly fighting with bubbles, leaks, kinks, clogs...the list goes on. So much time went into fixing the problems the continuous flow created, we didn't really save any money in the long run (in fact, I'd venture to say we lost money). I absolutely do not recommend this kind of system in an educational environment. We switched back to Epson ink cartridges, and our printer maintenance has decreased significantly.
