It uses the following cartridges: 1 yellow, two shades each of cyan and magenta, and one black. A friend who bought one on my recommendation was so satisfied with it that he bought the $800 Epson machine later not because of it's use of pigments, but because the cheap one has published profiles only for Epson paper and he wanted to use some other fancy papers.
