I would like to say how pleased I am with my city ink CISS ink system. This is the second one that I have purchased as due to a house move my last printer died.

 

Your system was the obvious choice for my new printer. This is the first ink fill up since I purchased the system 18 months ago.

 

Good results and good colour for the price. Much cheaper than original ink.

Received the above by next day delivery. On unpacking I found that there were extra clips for holding the tubes, a bonus. Watched the videos on the web site and had the kit filled and primed within 15 minutes. An easy job. Fitted it, switched on and got the dreaded “cartridges not recognised” warning. Followed the instructions on the sheet provided but they did not cure the problem. Eventually realised that I had the bung in and the printer thought that the lid was always down. Re-installed cartridges with bung removed. Replaced bung and the cartridges were recognised and have been working fine ever since. All done within an hour. I’ve printed out twenty or so colour prints on the paper that I ordered with the ink system. Everything is working great, and the paper looks to be good value for money.

 

PROS:

  1. Easy to install.
  2. Coloured plugs make it easy to tell which colour is running low.
  3. Long tubes give you enough length to reach rear of printer.

 

CONS:

  1. Lid has to remain slightly open (not a problem for me).

3 Reasons Why CityInkExpress Is AMAZING!!

 

  1. I hate long reading documents on screens: The CISS has given me a painfully cost effective and cheap way to print PDF documents, manuals, comic books, emails and study materials without the worry of having to ration ink!
  2. I print photos in bulk: All those pictures I’ve taken for Facebook and Instagram are now backed up in hard copy on photographic photo paper, even those blurry ones that never got posted online (because I’m a sentimental fool) and I did it on the cheap!
  3. In 2018 I’ve ordered ink for the first time since 2016 (and I still have a lot of the previous ink left): I print en masse and still can’t believe what an amazing investment this has been. The dye ink I use is cheap and what ink is still left in the system has NOT discoloured, dried-out and prints to a high quality without issue. This is after 2 years of [the ink] sitting in the system!

 

I want to thank Zac and Shane from the City Ink team personally for their prompt, helpful, concise and friendly replies to several queries I had about my current order. Cheers, guys.

This is the second CISS I've purchased from City Express and I'm very happy with both the product and customer service. Don't worry if you're unfamiliar with CISS, CityInk have provided helpful step-by-step videos for each system, available on Youtube.

 

I use the pigment inks, which are vibrant and hard wearing, perfect for my T-shirt designs. Don't be fooled into thinking you need to buy your printer manufacturers official cartridges, they say you need them simply because they want your money!

 

All of the major companies have reduced the ink capacity of there cartridges by up to half, cut one open and you'll see that a good portion of your money is spent on fresh air. I refuse to be ripped off, that is why I use CityInk Express.   

 

 

Have Just placed ANOTHER ORDER with C-I-E ! We Have been using a CISS Originally Bought for an Epson PX720 for about 18 Months now.


After the PX720 Expired from Over Use, we replaced it with the PX730 and after a quick call to the Guys at C-I-E we ordered a new chip and some spare filters for just a few Quid.
We didn't have to replace anything else and were up and running in about 10min!

 

Having now expanded our Printing to A3+ with the Epson R3000 , we are now trying out the FotoRite Pigment Based Inks , as we have always had such great results with the Dye Based version on our other printers. And with a Full Set (900ml) being over £100 Cheaper than Original Cartridges (234ml), We can pass great savings on to our customers and still make a healthy margin.

 

If You are undecided about CISS System's, JUST DO IT! For The Tiny Bit of SetUp Time, The Rewards are FANTASTIC. Last Year we saved over £500, This Year We can now expect to save £1000+

 

Even if you are just a casual home user you will make great savings. And if you use it for Business, you'll be laughing all the way to the bank!

 

Oh and By The Way....... I Started Writing this e-mail 10 Mins after ordering.... just had my Shipping Conformation !

 

Great CISS System,
Great Ink's,
Great Customer Service,
Great Shipping & Delivery

Hi C.I.E.

 

Would just like to say, anyone thinking about buying one of these continuous ink systems, do it!

 

We have used one for our old Epson printer for about 3-4 years now, our printer works hard and it must have saved us an absolute fortune. We have just bought a latest model Epson printer but I can say I would never buy another printer without buying a continuous ink system at the same time.

 

I am installing the system today but loved the old one that much that I will continue using it and will find some desk space for another machine in case we want to print at the same time. Well done city ink and keep up the good work.


 
P.S.Your youtube videos are really helpful too!

In august 2010 I bought a new printer. Two days later I saw City Ink Express CIS for my new Epson.


I really didn't know whatit was but I thought that I would save money with their ink… so I ordered it.


Today, in February 2013, one and a half years later, I still haven't used all the ink from my original purchase. I've printed everything I needed! This has been one of the best buys I've ever purchased.
My family and friends spend more than me on ink in one month than I've used from my original purchase a year and a half ago.


When I got it I was a little afraid because I had to do some modifications to the printer and because the supplier is a UK company and I live in Barcelona (Catalonia). I had no problem at all, the instructions were well documented and I received the product in a few days.


I would never buy another printer now without first getting advice from cityinkexpress on whether they have a ciss for it.

I have now purchased 3 printer & CISS bundles from City Ink Express, 2 Brother printers and one Epson. They have all been straightforward to set up, one of the Brothers came with ink in the CISS system, all I had to do was fit the air filters and slot the cartridges in. The second brother I had to fill the ink and then prime the cartridges but this was easy with the aid of the video on the City Ink Express Youtube channel – I would recommend you watch the relevant video before setting up your printer. Both the Brothers have a separate ink tank, but it doesn’t take up much space.

 

The last printer was an Epson with refillable cartridges which I haven’t done yet, but it’s just a case of filling them using the syringes supplied and removing the air plugs. This a great option if you don’t want a separate tank with tubes.

I am running a small therapy school so heavily using printed material both for marketing and for my students. I have being using all sort of solution to cut printing costs, but the one City Ink Express offer is by far the best. I have saved a huge amount of money WITHOUT reducing the quality.

i was very sceptical about ciss ink systems and spent a long time researching which system would be most suitable for my needs.


i contacted cityink by phone and could not get over how helpful they were in advising me on which system would be best for my needs. i am self employed but in the course of my work i do need to produce course literature, black and white and also colour.  it was costing me a fortune in cartridges, am i glad that i took the bull by the horns and purchased this system.


it is saving me a fortune as i have had the system about 9 months with every day printing and only just ordered my first supply of ink. brilliant colour reproduction and printer continues to run as normal with no jet clogging. ordered this ink on thursday evening  and it arrived saturday morning. excellent service.


i would and am recommending this system to all my friends, family and business acquaintances. their loss if they don’t buy ciss from cityink.
thanks very much  cityink.
