Saw this and being somewhat off a luddite with printers thought it looked too good to be true.

Anyone used this or something similar and can comment on how good/easy they are to use.

Thanks

The link went to a 404 error for me, but if you take a look here



and here



There are a few comments on CISS systems
I have been running one for 8 months or so now, and could not be happier with it...both with print quality , colour and with economy...It has definitely payed for itself many times over already.
Setup is the most involved part...follow the instructions and take your time...be prepared to put a little bit of work in to get things right from the start.
Hope that helps with info to give you an place to get started
I know there are a few other CISS users on the forums, so ask away if you need more help or specific information

I cant tell which specific printer you were aiming that url to...but the site is at this one



And from what i could see it looks like they have a comprehensive range. The tanks they use are pretty large...500ml or so it seems...which is good.

If you let me know if there was a specific printer or printer brand you had in mind I can take a closer look

Doh!

dont know how the link went bad, should have been

Im tempted, but as i say im a bit iffy with these things.

Cheers for looking.

Thanks for the updated link As you said...thats a refillable cartridge system...not actually a CISS..The both do the same job...letting you use cheaper ink in your printer.
This one looks like it would be pretty easy to set up, clean and easy to keep refilled...and as cheap to run as a CISS. You will need to refill it by hand about as often as you would change ink tanks...but that looks pretty simple with the syringes.

I can only speak from my own experience...but I have been very happy with the print and performance of mine. I estimate that , even over the 8 months I have been using this CISS system I have saved probably $500 on inks...thats a conservative estimate...but I do print a lot of stuff
