trust me if they do have an anti clogging agent in them then they don't work very well and Santer is notorious for sticking up for epsom printers.

I have a MG5350. First thing I bought was
http://www.cityinkexpress.co.uk/ciss/canon/mg5150/mg-series/dye-ink
I never unwrapped the ink that came with the printer.
As for perfromance, works better than the CISS that I had with my old epson. As for cost, similar to cheap refillable carts or cheap oem carts, but hopefully no ongoing hassle (not the case for the epson one i had). Only had it 6 months, but no issues so far. You can override the warnings of low/no ink very easily (press/hold the stop button on the printer for a few seconds and it will continue trying to print).

Don't do this if you have no ink in the cartridges as you will burn out the printhead, a new one is around £60.

Hey, OP here. Thanks for all the links and stuff - I'll be sure to check these out next time I have to refill.

Also, I have a cartridge that I know is full but the computer won't register it. I think there's a chip on it that must be faulty? Very annoying!

simples, change the chip using another with the same ink color,

As others have said, I would go for ebay.
