CISS ink systems and compatible printers?
Hey,
Does anyone use these and are they as good as they seem?
I can’t find one compatible with my printer (lexmark x3580) so may replace my printer with a compatible one.
It’s quite difficult finding out which printers are compatible, I need to find a wifi printer that, scans and photocopies.
The only ones I’ve found so far were pretty expensive but had functions I have no interest in such as printing onto CDs and reading slides etc.
Can anyone recommend a printer?
cheers

You can make almost any printer wireless these days so don’t limit yourself. As far as CISS systems go, they can save you money if you do a LOT of printing. However they do carry certain “gotchas” like hoses crimping, ink that is sometimes inferior, or when the ink runs out it can become a real pain to get it going again. I do a lot of printing and personally I find it easier to pay $3 a cartridge than deal with CISS.
If you’re looking for a reliable inkjet with good quality output, a solid warranty and inexpensive ink, look Epson. The best warranty in the industry. For a year, Epson will express-ship a replacement and pick up the old one.
Epson has also made things easier for their customers by standardizing their cartridges. Most of their printers use one of two types. The three-color plus black use T069 (CX5000 CX6000 CX7000 CX7400 CX7450 CX8400 CX9400FAX CX9475Fax NX100 NX105 NX400 Workforce 30/40/500/600 and C120) and the 5-color plus black use T078 (R260 R280 R380 RX580 RX595 and RX680). This means finding cartridges is easy.
I get cartridges for my Epsons from http://ccs-digital.com for under $3 each which hold 50% more ink than standard cartridges. They combine the best of cartridges and CISS. The ink is in a separate tank inside the cartridge. When the ink runs out, you pop out the tank, pop in a new one and keep going. The chip auto-resets to full.

It might help to know what country you’re in. In the USA, you have only one option isEpson. Unless you’re willing to pay double for a UK version of the Canon Pixma printers.
