Where Are The Cheapest Ink Refills For This Printer,thank You

That depends on how "compatible" you want them to be.

The cheapest typically don't have a chip included, so you have to remove the one from your old cartridge and fit that. This means that ink level monitoring won't work any more, and if you disable it on the printer, that will void the Canon print head warranty (though most people who do this probably don't care).

One solution is to buy a chip resetter, which costs around £20. Or you can buy "chipped" compatibles, which cost 30-40% more. Even so, they will probably only cost a third of the price of Canon originals.

The ink carts in your printer are very easy to refill and are even transparent, so you can see how full they are.
There is a plastic ball sealing the original filling hole on the top of the cart, dig this out with a sharp knife point ,I use a stanley blade-careful- and when it's out cover the outlet with a finger, fill with ink ,press ball back in place.
Had an ip5300 for nearly 2 years.

I got a load from netto but I've seen them in wilkos and other places.There are loads online.
Best at first to get a kit that comes with syringes, then buy just the bottled ink later.

canon cli 8 series of carts refills are cheap these days and the compats are even cheaper if your thinking of going down the refill kit route be careful can get messy and some companys put any old ink in there could clog up your print head

I fill my own.....
It invalidates the warranty and dissables the ink level monitor, but you can do a factory reset anyway if you want to get originals later.
You can buy Cannon ink.

I just get unchipped cartridges off eBay. I think they were between £1 and £2 each (for the iP4500).

Tom,
