Yet again your advice was good the purchase and delivery of my printer and ink system was very smooth, I received my order next day.

I have been a customer of CityInkExpress for a good number of years purchasing a good few ink systems plus two printer and continuous ink system bundles.

Even when I had a problem, parts were purchased and then the package arrived with extras just in case had been sent.

Queries have always been returned promptly and the help and information has served me well, may the service continue well done to Shane and the team.

Today we have a fantastic review from Tim for his Canon TS5051 CISS. 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

I previously retro fitted a CityInkExpress CISS to an old Epson printer I had it for may years and saved me literally £100s in ink. Now I have purchased a new Canon TS5051 with a CISS directly from CityInkExpress (cheaper than I could buy the printer alone).

Really helpful staff.

Great YouTube videos showing how to set everything up. Couldn't fault any of it.

Everyone needs to print from time to time. Even if you're not a professional photographer or a contract lawyer, there will still be the occasional errand that cannot be completed without some assistance from a printer.

When such errands arise, it's nice to have a printer of your own to rely on. The alternative is going to the library and paying for each sheet...or using the office printer while your boss isn't looking...or just hoping that one of your friends will let you use theirs.

You might think that paying for a printer (and, subsequently, the ink or toner necessary to keep it running) is a waste of money, but it's actually a very sound investment in the long run. Here are three reasons to take the plunge and get your very own printer:

Tickets and Boarding Passes

If you've travelled by air in the last couple of years, you'll know about all the bits of paper that you have to print out just to board the darn plane. It’s not just air travel, either; between the e-tickets for that concert on Friday and the proof of purchase that you need to present when you pick up your goods at a shop, there’s always something that needs printing, and having your own printer makes life much easier.

You'll Instantly Become More Popular

You know how we mentioned the friends that you rely on for printing purposes at present? Once you’ve got a printer of your own, you’ll become that friend. True, you may get tired of everybody making demands on your poor little printer, but think of all the favours that they’ll owe you!

Printers Aren't Just Printers Anymore

Multi-function printers (MFPs) are an increasingly large part of the market, and there are very few people nowadays who just want a printer. By investing in an MFP, you’ll also be getting a scanner, a photocopier, and goodness knows what else.
