Thanks for the input! I have always used Epson ink, but am afraid of the ink drying up on me if I do not print for a month or so- I seem to print in batches...
I, too, have an EPSON 3880 and have never used anything but OEM inks. The results are so spectacular that I'm afraid to chance 3rd party inks. And I often don't print for a month or so. Never any problems.

Sometimes, it shoots blanks. 
Someone asked me if I was a "right brain" or "left brain" person.
I replied that I was more of a "brain stem" person.

I am looking for a good quality camera that I can use when kayaking, I have the Nikon D500 and the Sony A7R2, I like a nice quality photo, I can not see myself putting an expense camera in a bag! Or spending 1k on a housing, any thoughts on the GoPro5 or a water proof point &shoot, I will be on the intercoastal water ways and in the mangrove s in Florida. Thanks for your thoughts.
I wouldn't use a camera when kayaking. I would use a kayak.

My "local" camera store is about a 45 minute drive from where I live. It's a Mom & Pop store that just recently celebrated it's 20th year in business. The owners are very knowledgable as are the few helpers they have.
I think the big box stores chains are driving the smaller, privately owned stores out of business no matter what product they sell.
The camera store I go to is the Pasco Camera Exchange in New Port Richey, Fl.

I feel lucky that I have an excellent "local" camera store, Pro Photo Supply in Portland, OR. I just bought a Nikon D810 body and a Manfrotto tripod from them. They sent me a nice thank you card, so I will keep patronizing them.

I am very fortunate to have a camera shop just 5 minutes driving from my home. The staff is very knowledgeable and always willing to help and answer questions, even when I visit them and don't buy anything.
This is in the Vancouver, British Columbia area, 'Kerrisdale Cameras'.
I have visited the Big Box stores as well, but have found that staff will give very vague answers to my questions, and sometimes don't even know what items they have in their department or where they are.

The last time I was in Vancouver, BC I visited a London Drugs Store and they seemed to have a complete camera department in their store. Do you know what their level of expertise is?

I have owned a number of refurbs over the years. MacBook Pro's Nikon D7200 and D500 as well as some lenses. If someone buys a camera and then returns it, they can't put that s/n back in new stock (innovatory) so they certify it and sell it as factory refurb. You can save a lot of money.
What's "innovatory?"

Long lenses have no place in the stands at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on race day. There are too many people with too much other gear. Each seat is defined as being 14' wide. Try occupying a 14' seat space and wield a 400mm lens on your dslr. Bet the guy next to you isn't going to let you have his space. That 14' also has to hold any cooler you brought. Unless you have been there do not make assumptions about the Speedway, there is nothing like Indy on race day, nothing!
But 14 feet is plenty.

Many of the lens post are opinions, their choice is always the best. I had a Tammy G1 + Nikor 200-500. I purchased the G2 a fews months ago, I've sold both the G1 and Nikon since. I seldon read lens manuels but I will in the furture, the G2 has two AF modes, after reading the manuel explaining the two AF modes I love it. This is my opinion based on shooting wildlife. The 100mm is a plus when shooting elk, moose, bears ect at a distance. Get the lens that best suits your subjects. Have fun!
"I seldom read lens manuels, but will in the furture." Horrible English.

You won't see any difference as long as the card keeps working, but read/write speeds and durability can be huge factors.

For the most part in a zoo I can get away with a 55-300 or an 18-300. I shoot Nikon 7200 and the DX lenses are a lot lighter than an FX. I have a 150-600 Sigma Sport but I would never bring it to the zoo. It's just to heavy and to big, plus I would really need a tripod to work with it whereas I can get away with a mono pod or hand hold a 300mm zoom lens.
Argh "...it's just TOO heavy and TOO big"

I totally get what your saying. But I'm not well educated on what's the best. I have read and read online but seem to get nowhere on an understanding. The selection and choices are just so big. I take senior pics, babies and family's and life events, But I also take animal pics and some landscaping. But I guess people are really my passion. So maybe that will help narrow down my reAding on what's the best choice for me.
"get what you're saying." Ouch.
