- All of them! LOL
Can't speak for the PRO 3880 but I have two 3800s.
I've been running one on refillable carts from Inkjetfly which only require the presence of MK and PK chips. The rest of the 7 carts run directly on the controller or tuner chips. This printer uses OCP k3 inks and only prints on Matte media. Every two months I do a Black ink Switch to insure that I do not end up with a solidified ML PK channel. I print a couple of Glossy prints and then it's back to matte.
The second 3800 runs on Modified OEM carts which I refill with OEM inks harvested from large carts.
I do the same Black ink switch every couple of months and then back to PK.
None have ever shown more than one or two random lines missing.
I clean the purge pads every two months as well as the wiper blades and other areas.
I have not had a single problem with either one.
By the way I bought both used for $200 a piece with nearly full OEM carts.
One had 550 prints on it and the second has well over 11k printed pages so that one supposedly is nearing its projected life span.
