D7360
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

I've been using the C7280 printers for many years to print photos because they work so much better than the new printers (when it comes to photos). I'm looking to buy a new in box D7360 or D7260 or C7280, but these printers all require the use of "introductory ink cartridges" for the first use. I don't want to use the ones in the box because they will be approximately 10 years old. Is there somewhere I can buy newer versions of these HP-02 introductory cartridges? Or, is there a way to bypass the requirement while still getting the "special ingredients" required to mix with the ink system? Thanks!

I am tracking another customer's similar question here (it's a different model, which is why I still posted the question): https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Inkjet-Printing/Introductory-Cartridges/m-p/7259976/thread-id/823302.
