>>4354044>they didn't make it a tank-based system, but continued with the overpriced cartridge route.are you retarded? you don't want pigment based ink in a tank system. that would just fuck everything up and clog it to death.
also compared to the smaller pro 200 the ink in the 1000/1100 isn't that horribly expensive. what makes the printer expensive is that it's pigment based and you have to run it at least once a week to not clog up the head. that's also the reason why the printer does that excessive self clean on startup (hint: don't turn off the printer if you can help it - just keep it on in standby)
if you absolutely don't need to have pigment based ink just get a dye ink based 200 pro.
I have both printers and I dont use the 1000 anymore. the 200 does a wonderful job for my use case (mostly black and white prints on heavy matte art paper)
pigment ink is a specialty that has many downsides
