Canon CISS Installation Videos

[cisinks]

Canon printers tend to be complicated to install because Canon deigns their printers to prevent the use of CIS systems.  There is very little space within the printer for the ink lines to move around.  Sometimes you have to modify your printer by cutting away at the frame of the printer, which will void any warranty on your printer.  We highly recommend using refillable cartridges instead if you won't want to do anything drastic to your printer.  

These videos are intended as general guidelines.  Your main goal of installing any CIS system is to make sure that your ink lines are not too long, which can cause it to 'whip around', or too short, which will 'tug' on the ink lines and might cause either recognition issues or break the ink lines.

ALWAYS keep your ink tank reservoirs on the same surface as your printer when installing your CIS system!  If not, ink can leak into your printer.  ALWAYS use your best judgment when installing your system.  ALWAYS contact us if you have any questions PRIOR to installing your system.  You can reach us at sales@cisinks.com.

For the Canon MP560 I found that this video(its in German) helped more than the one posted, as the supplies sent do NOT match the ones in any installation video or the online manual. I found that you should mount the ink line on the lid just to the right of the print head and put the lines out the right side of the printer in front of the LCD. Also, the plastic on the right side where the print head may go under may need to be cut to prevent it from catching on the lines.

Oh and before I forget the lid may need to be propped up a bit (no more than a half an inch) and a thin block  with double stick tape to hold down the button/latch/lid-open-sensor in the back right corner.
