Not my experience at all. When my girlfriend's HP 4L died we looked for a replacement and we both wanted to print color images so I bought a Canon MX870 ("multifunction", inkjet) in 2010. I still have it and it still impresses me with how robust it is - the fact it's a good document scanner and a fax is gravy. On its strength I bought a PRO-100 and the European analog of the MX870 whose model number I forget. The PRO-100 sat unused for several years, and when I tried it again, it picked up and worked as though for the first time. The assertion that inkjet is garbage sure isn't borne out by my three Canon inkjets.
