Manufacturers will tell you , use any other ink that ours and it will damage your printer. I’m not saying that it is not possible to damage your printer but I have refilled cartridges many many times with City ink over the years without an issue. Now I like an easy life I’ve converted mine , my parents and a number of my friends to City Inks CISS system and they just work. Out of the printers I’ve converted I would guess my oldest is about five years old and none of them has had any problems with the prints being as good today as they were when new. I’ve asked City Ink for advice in the past and got a pretty immediate response with some helpful and knowledgeable people responding. So in short I would fully recommend City ink especially their CISS system and as the prices are pretty good I don’t see me going anywhere else for my ink anytime soon.

My first attempt to pick the pockets of those who make a fortune selling us a few mills of ink for a huge mark up. I did my homework, found the appropriate videos to watch (are you taking notes here?). Watched the videos again, watched for different machines to make sure they were not all the same but specific and took the plunge.

 

So far so good.

 

Delivery spot on ; ordered (At Bank Holiday weekend) on Friday and arrived Tuesday.

 

Packaging: sturdy box well packed. Contents more than adequate to do the job.

 

I had done my research and admire the people here make their video guides available to everyone.

 

I was sure I could do the filling process and ignored the advice to use one of the supplied large syringes... Big Mistake! If you have a shaky hand use the syringe (I’m still washing the ink off my fingers (which shows its good stuff I guess).

 

The guides are brilliant they make a simple process, well, simple! I’m printing off my song lists and the ink is no problem I did no Lab test research but it goes on, dries, no runs, no fading, no problem – as good as any I’ve bought ( I think). This is my first time using this service and am enjoying the freedom to print reams of stuff rather than only print essentials. I’ll see how much I print and let you know in a few months time.

On opening the box I thought uh oh... but then I found the paper with the installation links on. Very easy to install and set up, really easy to bleed as well. My only small gripe is that I have had to tape my ink door closed to bypass the door switch. Maybe some details for bypassing the door switch?

 

I’ve bought these kits numerous times in the past and they have never failed...unlike the printers

Since receiving this product it works perfectly, the colours are beautiful in the pictures. Since I’m really satisfied with it, I will order the ink from the City inkpress in the future, too, and also recommend it to everyone.

I highly recommend the CISS for the Epson BX300f. I have previously used the official Epson ink cartridges, though these were not always available, and were very expensive. I have also tried the unbranded ones from supermarkets etc, but frustratingly hard to get them recognized. So when I heard about the continuous ink system, I thought to give it a try, especially as it offered a lot more ink at the same price as a set of official ink cartridges.

 

The extremely helpful YouTube videos, on priming the cartridges and installation, make installing the ciss fairly easy. Though I would recommend some gloves and kitchen roll on your work surface.

Today we have a fantastic review from Iain who has been a customer of ours for many years. If you'd like to be entered in our monthly prize draw, and receive a discount on all dye and pigment ink purchases, send your review to reviews@cityinkexpress.co.uk.

 

Having been a customer of City Ink Express for a number of years now, I have to say that their service is second to none.

 

I found their CISS system to be the best around and the ink quality is on a par with the genuine products.

 

Any issues have been dealt with in a timely manner and staff have always shown great knowledge of their products and printers.

 

Thank you

I purchased my CISS ink system for my Canon MG6850 printer in February 2018, after reading positive reviews and looking into a cheaper way of printing.

 

When the parcel arrived I opened it and was surprised to find the soldering iron, however the YouTube tutorials were comprehensive in taking me through step by step how to modify the printer, prime and load the ink system and install it into the printer. It was a complex process and did require 2 pairs of hands sometimes to make the job easier, and some of the lighting in the videos wasn't the best to see what was being demonstrated. I also had a minor problem with a damaged ink cartridge in my parcel however after a quick email I had a new one in the post toot sweet.

 

Since completing the installation of the system I have been very impressed with the printing results, great quality and so much more cost effective for me.

 

I would highly recommend the system to anyone who does a sizeable amount of printing, as after the initial outlay I believe the product will pay for itself in no time at all! Thank you City Ink Express!

When we heard about continuous ink systems through a friend, we were immediately sceptical, we had always used OEM (original) cartridges and were used to spending £40+ or a set of 4 ink cartridges that would last no longer than 2 months. We had used refills and cheap compatibles in the past and had always been let down. Poor print quality, numerous head cleans and faulty chips meant that we never strayed from Epson originals, begrudgingly as they are so expensive and not very good for the environment.

 

We thought we would give City Inks a go, the ordering process was simple and easy and the team were on hand to help with any set up questions we had.

 

We bought the system initially in 2014 and have only had to spend out once more on some more ink to fill up our tanks. So last year instead of spending £240 on ink cartridges, we only spent £40.80 and we haven't had to compromise on quality.

 

If you are hesitant, please don't be. These are not cheap knock off products which will damage your printer, this system is efficient and cost effective. We will never go back to buying cartridges again.
