I recently bought an Epson SX235W out of Argos with the intention of getting a CISS (continuous ink supply system) for it, these printers are quite cheap to buy but the replacement ink in some cases costs more than the printer and they are quite sore on ink.

However this kit cost £25 off ebay.
It comes with an already filled tank of ink which in itself has as much ink as a few cartridges, but it can be refilled and the big bottles of ink are very cheap. The installation was quite easy, the only issue was putting in the new cartridge it needs a lot of pressure before it clicks into place but the rest is simple, a few times cleaning the print heads to draw the ink from the tank through the pipes into the cartridge then an alignment and the printer has been printing fine for the past two weeks.

It works out to be much cheaper the only downside is i think the warranty of the printer is invalidated by the use of this system but the printer didn't cost much to begin with, and a friend has had an old epson printer with CISS system for the past 3 years without any problems.
