I bought the pack for empty cartridges and ink refills for my Canon printer, it is great as you can get lots of refills from one bottle of ink, and is cheaper than buying replacement cartridges and is better for the environment.

I will definitely continue to get my refills from CityInkExpress.

 

Many smaller Canon desktop printers that's use tri colour carts / 2 cartridges per printer don't have the room inside for free movement of the inkline tubes on a ciss making it impossible to fit one without cutting sections of the printer away which is not something you want to do for obvious reasons.

 

Typically tricolour cartridges are expensive to buy and don't contain a huge amount of ink , you can normally buy standard capacity and high capacity cartridges

 

What is a refillable pod cartridge ?


This is plastic insert filled with ink that inserts into your cartridge

 

how to modify a cartridge to make it suitable

 

Please see our video Here

 

How many times / pods can i insert before the print head fails and i need a new cartridge ?

 

During testing we found on an unused genuine cartridge we were averaging 8 pods before the print head failed and we needed a new cartridge -  that's this many inserts on one set of genuines.

 

 

Potentially nearly 7000 prints based  @ 5% coverage , if you are using a used / remanufactured / used / compatible cartridge this will be reduced based on the condition of the print head - either way its a great money saver and based on the table of costs above one of the cheapest ways to print on your printer.

 

We sell this package with various options including just the refill pods on there own for refills or if you are using your own cartridges or you can buy the complete kit with 2 unused genuine cartridge all options are shown below
