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.

My wife brought me a CISS after lots of frustrating episodes with ink cartridges.

Prior to fitting I made sure my printhead was thoroughly clean with no blocked nozzles. The kit is complete and includes all you need and a few spares. Instructions for fitting via good quality YouTube videos that show and explain things very well. The fitting process took approximately 30 minutes and is very simple to carry out.

If you are having printer issues I would thoroughly recommend this kit, it is flawless when printing.

I have been using this ink for the last 5 years. I highly value this product due to number of factors:

- it doesn't spatter around

- it dries quickly

- the colours are vibrant, not something common with other manufacturers.

The postage is always quick, customer service efficient. Any problems I had over the last 5 years, this company was quick to rectify.

A very happy customer.

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

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

As always with CityInkExpress continuous ink systems, the installation was a breeze thanks to the very helpful videos and the quality of the products. If ever I do have a query about the installation or day-to-day running, response times to emails are very short and the information is always useful.

Compared to other systems I have tried, these are by far the easiest to fit and maintain, spare parts are always available, and the build quality is second to none. The videos walk you through every stage of the way.

The only criticism I could have is to use white printers in the videos if possible, sometimes it is hard to see what is being done inside a black printer, but there again the explanations are very good.

I would not hesitate to recommend these ink flow systems, you will not be disappointed!

I was tired of buying miniature ink cartridges, and a friend recommended CityInkExpress. Not sure of what I needed I phoned for advice and was impressed with the knowledge of the lady I talked to, who knew all of the makes and models in detail. She recommended the Brother DCP T510W with internal ink storage.

I have now installed it (very easy instructions) and it is performing brilliantly in b/w and colour. I was previously thinking of a laser printer, but this is every bit as good.

I am very happy with my choice and with CityInkExpress' advice.

I received my order today I followed your installation videos on YouTube and it only took 15 minutes to install.

I have my own tattoo studio and I have already printed over 400 pages of tattoos and it doesn't even look like any ink has been used. Great product thank you.

I have used CityInkExpress for some time now and have always been very satisfied with both the service and the ink supplied.

Normally my orders arrive next day and when I needed help they went out of their way to assist me, they have always answered any questions promptly and with courtesy, I can heartily recommend them to everyone.

I don't think you will find a better company nor product.

I purchased a CISS system from CIE after running a poster business on Etsy for a couple of years. I had used genuine ink for some time but was finding it cripplingly expensive and I was constantly running out of ink. After some research I decided to grab myself a dye ink CISS and have loved it ever since.

The ink lasts significantly longer and is priced very competitively. The ink also appears to be high quality with no discolouration.

I had some initial teething issues with getting my printer set up to print close to what my computer was showing (colour wise) but it was a simple case of getting a custom ICC profile from CIE which solved my issue.

Would definitely recommend this product to anyone printing high volume regularly.
