Ink Measuring
Can anyone shed any light on the measure of cc which is printed on the side of say an inkjet cartridge? Need to know what the measurement is and how it converts to ml.
I assume (I think 😕 ) that cc means cubic capacity? Any help appreciated.

1000 CC in a litre , 1000 ml in a litre = of WATER.
CC = cubic centimeters but it only translates to 1 ml in water , stuff that is denser or lighter than water will not translate to the same meaurement , but ink is pretty much the same as water so you can use that factor.
Like a car , a 1300 cc motor is actually a 1.3 litre motor. -

Makes perfect sense now! 🙂
Default measurement in some software was cc and needed to know equivalent.
Thanks for your help!

Rodney, volume is a consistent measurement. 1 litre is one litre, be it water, oil or sand. I think you may be getting mixed up with mass. 1 litre of water = 1kg exactly (1cc of water = 1g), whereas the same volume of another substance such as lead would be much heavier.
