I have a canon ink tank printer and haven’t had to refill the ink tanks in 3 years. I don’t even know where they are. I print a lot of knitting patterns and workbook type stuff, but not often. Still, when I do use the printer, I use quite a bit of ink. I’ve been really happy with it! I think most printers with ink tanks are going to be a good bet, but I have never seen an HP printer function correctly after the first print or two. I won’t pay them any attention, let alone buy an HP printer. I’m convinced HP is single-handedly why printers have such a bad reputation.
If the printer costs less than or barely more than an in cartridge, it’s a scam. If you want a non scam printer, it will be more expensive. And never buy HP.
Laser printers. HP has been trash forever. I honestly look down on people who still buy inkjet printers. It shows they have no ability to think about future costs.
Depends on how good it needs to be and how often you need the color. I’ve got an old workhorse Brother color laser that has been on the same cartridges for years because I just don’t use it so often, but I still need color once in a while.
is there a printer that ISN’T a scam???
Just buy from Brother. They’re not over priced, reliable, and don’t pull with nickel and dime shit.
I’ve had my laser printer for 16+ years without issue. And everyone I suggested get a Brother as well have all been happy.
I updated my Brother printer just for it to decide to stop detecting my off-brand ink. They’re not free from bs.
I bought an Epson ecotank that I haven’t had issues with
They don’t make their money back on the ink cartridges and instead price the printer as a printer actually should be
Think ink has lasted me for a while but I’m personally not using it everyday to print
The ink isn’t cartridges but it comes in bottles you can buy to refill ink tanks on the printer
If I have any issues then I will update my recommendation but the printer has been good for me personally

They are the printer enshitification. Prove me wrong.
I’ve read that some have a non-user-replaceable waste tank/sponge?
Which Brother model is this?

Brother Gutenberg was a genius
Brother laser printers.
Made the jump. Best decision ever.

I’ve had pretty good look with Brother HL printers. I bought an HL-2170 around 2008 and it’s still works great.
Work with commercial sized inkjet printers. They are all scams even at that level.

Tbf, color printers are better with inkjet. Yes, some people need to print in color.
