Have used ink from www.inksupply.com MIS Associates for a number of yrs

I would like to suggest using your local Cartridge World. They should be
able to refill your cartridges and supply their own brand. They do in the
UK. I have found them to be very helpful and their products spot on.

A good source for inks for the Canon PGI-220 and CLI-221 cartridges is
Supply Source. They are offering a free chip resetter for the Canon
cartridges if you buy a set of 16 ounce bottles of inks for the
PGI-220/CLI-221 cartridges. You can contact them at
supplysource(at)gmail(dot)com.
