You have supplied me most recently with a new replacement CISS system with ink for my Brother MFC-J6720DW. The old one, which has become a bit messy, has worked perfectly for two years or so, giving excellent print quality with vibrant colours, noticeably better than the standard or own brand replacement ink cartridges and at vastly cheaper prices. So much so that my newer Epson WF-7710 is now fitted with this system and I look forward to many years good service from that too.

 

In fact, I so much like this system of ink supply that I have bought a replacement printer for my girlfriend in Ghana, Africa - an Epson ET-2600 - which has this kind of system built in, and she too is now full of enthusiasm over it. Keep up the good work. I will be back for more inks in due course for all these machines.

 

Thank you so much.

I have been looking for a photo quality printer which would accept 300gm2 card and print at a reasonably fast speed. At last I found the Canon IP8750 with CISS at City Ink Express. From the write-up it sounded exactly what I needed. I placed my order and was really surprised when it arrived the next day in less than 24 hours. I have already used printers with CISS but was surprised that this one came without the ink in the system, so at first, I was a little bit daunted at the task of having to do the initial filling of the system and then priming each of the six ink colours. But after watching the easy step by step video instructions it turned out to be a lot easier that I first thought. The next step was to test the printing. I went straight for my 300gm2 Photo Card and was relieved that the card fed through without any trouble and the Photo quality was a lot better that I expected. The use of Pigment Black as well as Dye Based Black really makes the photos more vibrant.

We are proud to announce June's competition winner, Bill! Who has won an XP-247 CISS Printer bundle.

Today we have a fantastic review from Phil who has one of our CISS systems. 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 thought long and hard before buying a CISS system, I have to say that the last 3 years have changed my mind completely. The simplicity of the CISS system from Cityink Express and the the staggering sums of money saved make this a must have for parents (since so much can wasted by kids) and business alike. Once setup, you simply pull out the cartridge and re-seat it, (I usually wait 4-5 secs) to make it be recognised once more.

 

Think of it this way, the cost of the entire CISS system is less than 2 original ink sets from EPSON!

 

Quality - The prints that I have produced are excellent and have been used in friends official wedding photo albums the print outs are that good. Could a skilled artist or expert designer tell the difference between inks? Not sure, however they normally use colour laser-jets, which are far too expensive for us. Assuming you use the correct photo quality paper, then the ink dries immediately, everytime! Also works fine on normal paper, if it stays wet, it is the fault of the paper, not the inks, I can assure you.

 

Refilling - With the CISS system this is almost never required, however the first fill up is straightforward and links to YouTube videos can be found including some from Cityinks.

 

TIP: Make sure the cables are not too tight, or do not bend too much or it can restrict ink flow.

Having already fitted a CISS system to my Epson XP-202 and achieved excellent results.

 

When my God Daughter in Russia asked for a new printer for her birthday, I got her a new Epsom XP-342 and it went without saying City Ink Express's CISS system for the new printer.

 

Easy to set up with video help, she now doesn't worry about how many pictures she prints off because of the cost of cartridges.

 

Both her and my printers working great.

 

Thanks City Ink Express.

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.

I have been using this excellent system for a little while now and am really pleased with the results. As I print colour photographs for display and calendars each year for my extensive family and friends, quality is most important. Cost isn't necessarily the most important factor, but having set up the system with the six tanks and first lots of ink, then the resultant cost saving is impressive.

 

In the past few days, I have been making comparative prints of some I have done in the past, using a different printer and inks. These were printed on gloss paper at the highest standard setting and I considered them most impressive. Using the new system and inks with a similar type of paper, there is an obvious improvement in sharpness and colour rendering: quite impressive.

 

On my Facebook page, I have commended this system to my family and friends and I commend it to any who check this website for information about City Express Ink System.

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

I have used City Ink Express inks now for many years now. I get absolutely beautiful saturated colour and monos to die for.

 

The service is top class.

 

Previously I was using a very expensive ink in my CISS - your inks equal that ink in every way and at a fraction of the cost. A well deserved 5 Stars from me.
