I happened to pick up the same model a little while back, to replace an HP that died after most of a decade of good service - Instant Ink's an amazingly good deal, if you use it for photos, but I wanted something I could easily use better than stock inks in. The resolution is reasonable, though the default color settings produce a blue cast (vs. both on-screen rendering and my Pixma Pro 100, as well as the HP it replaced) that I haven't figured out how to reliably prevent yet. As a photographer this irks me greatly, enough so that I won't print my own work on it until the problem is solved; others may not care. It tends to go into deep sleep and need a poke to start listening to the network again, which is annoying when it lives with the other printers in the attic. I work around this with a homelab cron job that curls the printer's admin web interface once a minute. Other than that it's been solid thus far, though admittedly I've only had it a few months. Certainly it'll be a while before I need to refill it.
