For everyone watching this, you should really wear latex gloves when handling the cleaning solution. If you like your clothes, wear an apron. And if you like your eyes, wear some safety glasses. That cleaning solution is no joke. Sure, the likelihood of it getting into your eyes is extremely low, but accidents do happen. It also can really dry out and irritate your skin.

Thanks for bringing this up! Safety is important - wash hands after as well.

hey, thank you so much for sharing this! how much ink does the BD-8 consume? like how often do you have to put in new ink cartridges? thanks!

It's going to vary on your usage, but for me I've had it since end of March and just changed the white ink last week (June). I haven't replaced any other colors yet. I use this machine between 3-5 times a week.
