Hi been using a conon ip4300 cis for unfortunatly the ink resorvoirs have run low and the cartridges have not filled automatically. This leads to 2 questions

1) new ink 3 colours and 2 blacks 1 being a pigment any suggestions where they can be purchased in the uk (200 ml?) bottles

2) I suppose that I need to prime the cartridges to get some ink flow any suggestions its of a type available off ebay and its got the clippy thing on the side that can be used to stop ink flow

Thanks in anticipation

You would be better sourcing the same ink you bought originally as other sources of ink may or may not be compatible.. or worse may create a clogging reaction that messes your system completely

Priming of the system is probably handled already by your CIS manufacturer so your first point of contact should be them... failing that check the thread here:
