I have this printer (or the Asian version T13) in Thailand with a retrofitted CIS system for approx. Bought 50 Euro. (Connected external ink tanks via hose line with spec. Cartridges) With such a system include high ink prices of the past :-)) The right ink there for about 10 euros per 500ml.
The mechan. Quality of housing and the paper feed / tray leaves something to be desired. Here you can clearly see where had to be saved.
