On the other hand, I have also called InkWell and their offer is 1,500 CISS conversion, no additional ink, and 1 month service warranty....

It appears that Star Ink has a better offer, but there is only 1 Star Ink Store in Cebu and I am afraid what if it would pull-out its business in Cebu, just like INK-FOR-LESS....

My questions are: Has anyone tried Star Ink? Are the inks sold from iColours and InkWell compatible with or similar to that of Ink Star? Finally, are the these inks - dye or pigment?

Are Canon printers, more particularly E610, using Dye or Pigment Inks?
Your doubts against StarInk should also be the same as with others offering the same product.. Kahit ano man piliin mong brand or company, there would always be risk na pwede silang mawala.. Its beyond your control..

With regards sa ink, as per experience sa ciss, kung saan mo pinaconvert yung printer mo dun mo na din dapat kukunin mga inks mo.. Never mix them even if you find a cheaper ink.. Or you'd regret it. Kaya dapat consideration mo din yung refill inks when choosing your ciss...

As per observation, cheaper ciss package have inferior quality inks compare to those "branded" ones..

With regards to dye vs pigment, i believe there are options depending on your needs.. But prices may vary.. Better ask them..
