    My only regret is that i haven't heard from you a lot sooner.
    I've wanted a system like this for more than two years now.

    A huge thumbs up
    Anyone needs a system like this, there is only one place i'd recommend (perhaps because you are the only place i know of selling them, but still)

    Thanx a million
    next month there will be more newer CISS kits coming, support more than 20 newer models of Epson and Canon printers, including Ip4600, MP780, T10, T26, S20, SX100, SX200 ....etc.
    my website will be also updated then, www.saciss.co.za
    big thanks for everyone supporting my products.

      Thanks David. I successfully installed my CISS on the Epson CX4300 and can say it works a dream. The colours seems to be a bit faded as compared to Epson ultrabright but then again the cost savings will be huge.

        Ha, I think you guys got screwed.
        Ever heard of ebay? They have CIS for R 400.

        I'll say it again. You got screwed.

          I totally disagree.
          Ebay might be cheaper but I would gladly have paid twice as much.
          The delivery was very quick but most importantly, the service was superb.

          I have never installed a ciss so I was scared that I might break something so in being too careful I didn’t press hard enough for it to click into place.

          I’ve phoned David and he offered to replace it even though the fault was entirely mine.

          I’ve had a bunch of very bad experiences when buying from ebay. Delivery would have taken longer as well. And had I experience the same problem it would have cost me R 15 per minute to resolve it.

          David’s products are great quality and he gives excellent support for those dumbasses like me who never installed a CISS before.

          Take the gamble and buy from ebay if you want. I’d rather pay a bit more and have peace of mind.

            Aren't there major shipping problems with ebay to South Africa anyway?

                Another excellent reason why you should rather buy from David.
                John Kelly, I honestly thought this might evolve into a beautiful friendship, but right now i can't help but say, fudge off.

                  Clever Mr Kelly, I know what the costs for ciss systems are, I also happen to know about EBAY. The fact is that the cost price for resale is R400.00 from David, yet I am willing to pay R800.00. The import cost from China are much much less, even than on EBAY. Can they supply me a ciss system installed within 3 hours? NO! Can you trust everyone on EBAY..NO! So go frett somewhere else. It's for one my money I have spend and two the replacement with original cartriges would have cost me the same and I got 100ml ink for each colour for the same price in very quick time. From Ebay I would have to wait a few days if not weeks. Thus my production loss would have paid for a few more ciss systems.

                  Time is money and I am happy to pay David his 100%+ PROFIT to make this ciss system available locally for my own convenience. Many companies make about 300% profit. Like that PC you are typing on.

                    hey guys,

                    I have begun my quest for a decent CISS.

                    Does anyone own any of the CISS' from here ? continuousink.com

                    It looks really good. I'm especially impressed by how neat and contained everything is...

                      Scavern, it looks good, but rather buy from David. If you have a model he doesn't have in stock, call him, perhaps he can get you one.

                      The CISS i bought from him is awesome. I've used about 300ml of ink since i bought it, still working beautifully.

                      Personally i wouldn't give a damn even if it looked like a turd sandwich just as long as it works correctly.

                      Do you want to save money on ink or buy a some nifty gadget to brag about??

                        Good day

                        Can you tell me if you still have the CISS systems available and what is the cost for an Epson xp 235 one.

                          I would recommend an Epson ITS it works well but is prone to clogging if you don't print regularly.
                          Only stress when you can change the outcome!

                            yes, I do have. R1050.00 a set with inks. but what Ian said is right, if you plan to get a new machine rather go for ITS. Epson, Canon, HP they all have.
                            but for those who already bought a machine (not a ITS) and want to save money on cartridges or they can't afford a new ITS then go for CISS solution.
                            one thing i would like to clear, CISS is not a bad idea to fit onto the printer, but some people don't know how to use it, how to balance the ink pressure and ink flow, how to reset the CISS cartridges and try to play around with machine eventually damage the printer.
                            you can have a look on youtube.com and search for CISS, many video clips you can find. spend some time to get yourself familiar with it.
                            if you decide go for ITS, I got all dye base inks for Epson, Canon, HP...
