The seller, Inkxpro also provided terrific customer support. The initial unit I received didn't work well. After just a couple of requests for information, and suggestions, the seller quickly sent me a replacement unit for no charge. That unit has worked flawlessly.
Some suggestions for using it the Canon Pixma MG5320, and probably other, printers:
1. To support the incoming tubes (assumes the tanks are to the right of the printer), use the long plastic extender, attached to the flat horizontal plastic on the right of the cavity where the cartridge traverses. Position the end of this plastic above the cartridge path. I found that this worked better than using the small plastic square attached to the lid, above the cartridge path. Using the extender lets you open and close the scanner top, to get to the cartridges, without worrying that the square piece that holds the tubes in place will pull off if you raise the lid too far.
2. Use scotch tape to hold the support in place, and to hold the incoming tubes in place where they enter the inside of the printer.
3. If you see air in the tube line and it's just a small amount near the color cartridges, you can either run a cleaning, or print a picture of pure Magenta, Cyan, and Yellow. I prefer the latter since each cleaning cycle dumps ink into a pad within the printer. I've found with previous Canon printers that the printer keeps a count of cleanings and will stop functioning when it thinks you've done too many, to prevent the pad from overflowing ink. Just google "Magenta Cyan Yellow" and click on images to get a picture. I print mine about once a week, if I'm not using the printer much, to keep the lines free of air.
4. Eventually, the printer will think each cartridge is out of ink when it's not really. When that happens, you'll see a message stating that it cannot recognize the cartridge. Simply unsnap the cartridge, and snap it back in, and the auto-resetter chip will make it look full again. Note: to get the printer to move the cartridges to the center, so that you can unsnap them, remember to pull out the plug that is fooling the printer into thinking that the lid is closed. Otherwise, it will keep the cartridges hidden on the right side.

Doesn't work like described...not worth the money it cost. A real aggravation to keep the ink flowing freely. Doesn't fit the machine like it should sometimes makes the print head stop and grind. Would be a fantastic product if it worked like it's advertised.Best Deals for XPRO Series Ciss CIS Continuous Ink Supply System for Canon Pixma
Installed it, works fine, I needed some jumper/locks for the scanner button underneath because all they provided was for the main button which when you lift the top part you see the ink, the customer service was nice enough to send me some for the scanner, but now my problem is my printer reads one black and yellow empty and I can't print, but tank is full and no bubbles..Honest reviews on XPRO Series Ciss CIS Continuous Ink Supply System for Canon Pixma
I love these CISS systems and this one is a great improvement. It looks more professional than the last one I've bought. And I'm getting great prints.My only problem has been with the printer itself (a Canon MX892). Because of the way it is built the tubes often bound up. This is a problem with the printer not this system. I don't see how it could have worked any better. Makes me want to take some cutters to the plastic that they positioned just so a CISS might have a hard time (or so it seems). But I think I have it setup such that it will work well now.
Thanks for a great product.
