There are better inkjets like tank printers using ink bottles. Cheaper per page than even laser printers, and can’t detect 3rd party ink (cause it’s a liquid lmao). None of this subscription stuff is required. They don’t have the gamut of say 7 cartridge ink jets obviously, but still better than laser printers I imagine. The main drawback is the extra maintenance of an inkjet with them drying up and all that.
I haven’t bought a printer in years, but had to service a crappy one for work. I’m very interested in this ink bottle refill type of printer. That honestly sounds perfect. Didn’t know it was a thing. Thank you.
Yes that’s because nobody actually uses Inkjets correctly. They aren’t meant to be unplugged and left to rot. They are meant to be used. If you only use a printer occasionally buy a laser printer.
Yeah, I imagine they can be decent for businesses with in-house repair staff and that print stuff all day every day so the nozzles usually don’t dry up and clog during business hours.
But if you’re not in the printing business and don’t have someone in the office who is comfortable grabbing a screwdriver to take a printer apart and fix it, then you’re probably better off with a laser printer.
I’ve never had to take it apart. I have had to run head cleaning a few times, but that’s from leaving it unplugged for a while. Aside from that it works alright. I don’t get why they would need to take it apart, that sounds like a massive exaggeration.

So stop buying HP in other words.

I’ve never used a refillable bottle type inkjet, but everyone I’ve talked to who has says they’re a nightmare and never work right.

Look up Epson EcoTank. There are other companies that make tank printers as well I believe.
