Hi all. New guy here but I’ve been lurking for a while now. Forgive me in advance if this topic has been discussed before. I tried to do searches but nothing recent comes up. I’ve decided that I’d like to get into photo printing and possibly refilling. Like I said I’ve been on the site for a while and the consensus seems to be to get a good pro 10 or pro 100. I’m leaning towards the pro 100. Question is how to find a good unit. I’ve seen some interesting ones here and there but they are not close to check out in person. Is it possible to get a decent one off of ebay and the like. My concerns are that some of the printers were used for a while then put away for years without any use. Also they seem to price them like they’re made out of gold. I can’t see myself paying good money that can be a crap shoot in terms of receiving a printer in good working order. Some of them are priced more than a pro 200 or 300, and that’s not even for a brand new one. I value the opinions of a lot of the people on this forum. If you were in the market for a used pro 100 how would you approach it. What would you do To minimize the damage. In the end, might just get the pro 200 and call it a day. Maybe sometime down the road a refill solution might be available. Thanks so much in advance for you time and patience. Steve
