An ink quality system for an inkjet printer includes an ink reservoir including a volume of ink. A first sensor is disposed in the ink reservoir. At least a portion of the first sensor is in contact with the volume of ink. A second sensor is disposed in the ink reservoir. At least a portion of the second sensor is in contact with the volume of ink. Electronic circuitry is in electrical communication with the first sensor and the second sensor and configured to measure a quality of the ink by measuring the resistance between the first sensor and the second sensor.
