I'm reading through some posts online I'm also seeing posts about replacing PK carts with MK ink.
Get the printer first, then think about different cartridge configuration, and please disregards all the reviews and what you heard on line, (except here) this is a pigment printer and the best you can get, change nothing !..

The seller provided this nozzle test.

Here's a link to the full res:

I'm guessing the vertical banding is moire from the scanner, but just wanted to double check with all the bad luck I've been having.

I'm pretty excited though, I could pick it up today.

Alright, I got it! The seller was a really nice older gentleman who was getting rid of his after upgrading to a PRO-300. It was refreshing to finally deal with someone who wasn't trying to jerk me around.

He said I could return it if there were any problems, but it looks like he took good care of the it.

It's low on red so I just did a small test print.

Should I go with Precision Colors refills?

Congratulations on your great find, now remember this is a pigment printer with special carts, so threat it with respect, and it will reward you with great prints, if unused for a little while run a nozzle check before starting any prints..

Thanks, will do.

Would you recommend Precision Color refills or sticking with OEM?

I watched a video on refilling PGI-72 cartridges and it looked pretty simple by applying ink through the discharge port. I have a scale I can measure the weight with.

I've heard since pigment prints are more indelible, it's not as much of an issue with 3rd party inks being less light fast. I plan on printing mostly for my own folio.

I have an i1Studio for profiling, although I've only used it on my monitors so far.
