Yes you read that correctly. I have, in 2025, come into possession of a new, never opened, 3880. I’m I correct in thinking that I can do the initial ink charge with Piezography inks and the aftermarket carts? I have a working 3880, and when the time comes, I’d like to just swap the carts over to the new machine. Should work, right?
Yes!
Just take the OEM chips off the starter carts inside the box and put them under the refill carts controller chips. Fill and prime. Then follow the instructions for installing your printer and it will run the resident INTIAL FILL to charge the printer with Piezography ink.
Great find!

Awesome! Thanks Jon!
Congrats- I had the same luck earlier this year and did just as Jon recommended. The new printer has been wonderful to work with. I flushed the old, somewhat problematic one with PiezoFlush and kept it as a backup.

You know, even a couple years ago, new ones were not so hard to find, but they’re getting pretty scarce. I felt pretty lucky running across this one!
