The City ink express refill inks I purchased for a canon ip8750 printer produce results across the entire colour range, indistinguishable from the original canon inks at a fraction of the cost. A real test for ink quality is if it can produce a true deep black and these inks are superb for that. Customer service is also excellent, I thoroughly recommend them.

If your printer was not purchased in the uk / Europe then it will use different cartridges for the ciss - for it to work in your country you will need chipless firmware - read on 

 

What is chippless firmware?


Chippless firmware is a modified version of the software installed inside your printer that has been modified so it no longer monitors the chips or ink levels, this is uploaded to your printer and overwrites the current version of the software.

 

The benefits of chippless software are it gives the user the ability to put cartridges in the printer with no chips or the wrong chips , an example of use would be if you have intermittent issues with chips doing this would solve that as it no longer checks for chips.

 

An alternative scenario would be where you get the same printer in different countries but the chip / cartridges are different so you cannot buy a product from one country and put it in the same printer in a different country because the cartridges and chips are different andwould not be recognised.

 

Making the printer chippless would as an example allow the user to buy a ciss or refillable cartridges for the XP-4100 in the UK and install them in the US version of the same printer.

 

Using a chippless firmware will void your warranty 

 

Its as easy as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxljgwByvBk

 

Once uploaded you should not update your firmware from Epson, or it will overwrite the modified version and go back to how it was before with normal unmodified firmware, ink levels will no longer be monitored so manual checking will be required of the product you are using. 

 

If done in error, it can be recovered if you have saved your recovery code the software offers at time of modification.

 

Chipless firmware is offered here https://inkchip.net/

I have installed several CIS systems before. This one was easy. It just took some preparation and time and did work first time without any extra head cleaning.

 

The delivered system was mostly the same as the one in the online videos for priming and fitting.

 

Ink bottle design has changed from video; small screw top now makes pouring easier. A couple of extra double-sided tape clips for the ink line were supplied, which were not required.

At the moment we are working on ciss and expect to be releasing around mid - end of March 2020 at this time we currently have refillable ink cartridges and cheap compatible ink cartridges which can be found click here

As per usual we will match the ink type to what the manufacturers use whether it be dye / pigment ink or  a mix of both,  we dont use ink types that are not suitable or being used on a long term basis by the print head

 

Arc auto reset chips are already available which is how we have managed to release refillable ink cartridges already

I have been using CityInkExpress products for a number of years, and I can honestly say they're the best inks I've ever used, their pigment ink is even better than the original Canon stuff, believe it or not!

I run a small card printing business and their CISS system and inks have saved me an absolute fortune compared to buying the original ones.

I’ve had to call their support line a couple of times and the experience was nothing but positive, I was recommended which printer and inks to buy for my needs.

I would recommend this company to anyone without hesitation.

We have used CityInkExpress a number of times for our HP Envy 4500 Printer and Continuous Ink System.

We have telephoned them for advice as to which ink to purchase (as our printer is a little old) and have been very happy with their recommendations in terms of suitability, efficiency and cost.

We have found their service both responsive and reliable and are more than happy to use them again and recommend them
