Don't bother with Kyson inks. They are not pigmented. I had the CIS for my i9950 and their so called pigment ink. Prints faded within a month of printing - no matter what paper I used. I didn't have any clogging issues - so that's a plus point! Even though I profiled all my papers with the Kyson...

Just a small correction: HP B9180 is a pigment ink printer and so is the Canon 9500Pro and so are their lager brothers, the Z-series HPs and IP canons. Their smaller printers are dye except for the black, like you said. Shrey

I agree with you. Their pigment ink is dye ink. It has none of the properties of pigment - waterfastness, lightfastness etc. The CIS system itself is okay and the ink is clog free but like I said fades real fast. When I need to get more ink, I get it from either MIS or Hobbicolor. Good thing...

It says pigment on all the bottles as well! The ink is translucent not opaque. Dan at kyson even confirmed it would look like dye as the pigment particles were ground down so fine they would look translucent. From my own experiences it dye ink the bottles labelled (miss sold) as pigment. Run a...

I definitely ordered pigment ink and even refill pigment ink a couple of months later. Just checked my order receipt email, incase I did order dye by mistake. I have also printed on Kirkland paper (old and new) and both have faded very quickly. I ended up buying a HP B9180 and printing on the...

I have the system installed on Canon i9950 A3. Their install instructions were a joke. I got help from another kyson user with the same printer. He's happy with it and says it's pigment ink. I ordered the system with pigment ink, but it looks like dye ink and prints like dye ink. Kyson claim...

Hi I use the Kyson 'Pigment' CISS system on my Canon i9950 with no problems. Installation was fun :), as the instruction were bad, but I managed to get it to work. Apart from the initial clogs when installing, since then the printer has performed flawlessly. In fact I turned it on after being...

Hi Yep, the system was prefilled. There were air bubbles in the lines (as to be expected), but all I needed to do was lift the ink tanks over the printer until the lines filled with ink. On hindsight, I should have put the cartridges in a bucket or similar and not left them in the printer(!)...

Hi I have recently purchased and installed the Kyson CIS system on my Canon i9950 with their pigment inks. After profiling the various papers I use, I can say it works great. I not sure on whether or not the inks will will fade - it's too early to tell. Since installing I have not had a single...
