Keep in mind that it is an old printer. Mine are several years old now and I'm sure you could get refurbished ones cheaper now. It does accept archival inks. I'm using Cone Quad-Black Carbon inks in one and Generations Enhanced Archival Pigment color inks in the other. The four color printers actually do better with archival inks than the six color ones. It was the two extra colors that gave more problems with archival inks. I think they may have solved that problem, but the four color printers do a great job. I have an old six color PhotoEx and my 3000's do a much better job with color than it does.
