You can try hounding HP and see if they what they want for an extended warranty on the DJ130. For any of these bigger designjets I would not touch them used without having an ext. warranty after dealing with HP service. In this case however I think HP is being unreasonable because they have an obvious problem with the printer that they refuse to fix. If you start searching any of the DJ support forums about the 130 yellow problems you will see just how widespread the problem is. For the HP sponsored site the guy from HP will lamely respond the same way for every instance and that is to change the printhead.
