Hello everybody,
I'm newb in this printer world. I have tiny experience with refilling but only with cartridges for low-cost Canon printers (like PG-545/CL-546 which I refill now)
I'm a student and I want something more archival (so pigments as far as I know are for me) and I'm looking for the best printer for the least money. Maxify MB2750 caught my eye as I print a lot and would use the automatic scanner. But what about refilling? As I said I'm a newb so I read some posts here, checked with Octopus.de etc. and my head is spinning from all of it. I think I saw something about not doing firmware updates. What if I buy a new one with the newest firmware? Would that prevent me from refilling OEM cartridges? (via the Ecofill tool and pigment inks from Octopus)
Also - can I use the original cartridges indefinetly while refilling and using the ink monitor off or do I have to buy new ones every few cycles?
EDIT: Oh and if somebody has this printer. Can it do borderless photo 4x6? I know, pigments aren't for photoprints but I'd really aprecciate that.
