Congrats Mitchell, your going to love it. I've had mine for about 4-5 months and I love it.
The ink is on the spendy side but there is nothing like holding your first really nice 13x19
When you get ready to start looking for papers and compatibility check out this addy:

I admit it did take a whole weekend and a 50 pack of paper to get it dialed in to what I was seeing on screen...but thats the fun of diy
Enjoy
