Thanks for the reply.

Ilford sample packs are freely available here in the UK.  I presume 
only one per customer though.  However, they're also quite cheap from 
online sources.

I've had good success with both major manufacturers' CISes - 
nomorecarts and MIS.  The MIS version is way cheaper.  You don't have 
to resort to assembling the CFS yourself.  The 1160 carts with tubing 
attached (ie CFS ready) is only $35.  You can go the cheap route and 
not even bother with a bottle tray.  Add a vacuum pump and some 
tubing brackets, and you still get a CFS for under $50.  
Inkjetgoodies has one set of 6 "colour" Lyson NT quad bulk inks 
remaining for $75 on their liquidation page.
