HP does have ink tank printers, but I believe they are only sold in emerging markets. https://store.hp.com/id-en/default/printers-hp-ink-tank-system https://store.hp.com/id-en/default/printers-hp-ink-tank-syst... In developed economies HP was/is pushing for users to use its "Ink subscription" service. I am assuming that using cartridges has higher margins for HP. The business model for HP is to make money selling supplies, and with ink tank printers it is trivial for a customer to use non-OEM refills.

That's interesting. In South Africa, at the moment, they also don't have widely available ink tank printers. The two main ones sold at most shops are Epson and Canon, with Epson having the most aggressive marketing campaign of the two. The nice thing about Canon's offering is that they took some of their older designs (that people are used to) and stuck in the ink tank. Epson's offering is the cheapest, with an entry level but not bottom of the range costing about USD 140. Edit: No document feeder on that HP! That's disappointing.
