I have an Epson CISS specific printer
Moral of the story, not all inkjets are bad
My bad it is actually a Brother not an Epson. I think I bought it from the site you linked but they don’t seem to sell them on there anymore.I've had refillable cartridges for years and heard about these CISS systems a long time ago but now might be the time to invest especially since I've now inherited the Epson WF-2860DWF that was up the attic. Funnily enough the compatibles are still dearer than other compatibles.
What would you recommend I get from this page - https://www.cityinkexpress.co.uk/ciss/epson/wf-2860dwf/wf-series
Or perhaps you have a better place to buy from.

I would recommend getting a printer designed to be a CISS printer - when you convert them they tend to block up and give you all sorts of issues unless you print regularly (at least weekly) with a dedicated printer you can just ignore it and it will periodically clean itself and always be ready to print.
This looks like the newer version of what I have (mine is the 700): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brother-DCP-T710W-Color-InkTank-System-Refill-Multifunction-Printer-with-Wi-Fi-/224108020950
If the 710 is anything like my 700 you’ll get years of use for the cost of the printer without having to replace all the time. I have a laser printer as well and although it’s a bit faster and the quality is a bit better, I’ve spent more than the price of the Brother in toner. You won’t get amazing photo prints from the CISS but you can print shed loads of colour pages for next to nothing.
They most certainly aren't, you just have to print a colour article now and then
Well, 5 years of storage and it worked - not sure about that!
Doesn't get round the inkjets clogging due to infrequent use.
