I am using a Brother inkjet/scanner/everything combo (https://www.brother.ee/printers/inkjet-printers/mfc-j5330dw https://www.brother.ee/printers/inkjet-printers/mfc-j5330dw) and it's magnificent.
* From CMD+P to page rolling out of the printer is less than 5 seconds
* It prints on anything you can imagine and scans from anything too. Duplex, envelopes, photo paper, weird formats etc.
* No jams. No confusing setup. No dingy and confusing on screen menu but a good small touch screen.
* It takes 4 separate CMYK cartridges so you can replace a color at a time. 3000 BW prints for €30 (€0,01 per page). Color cartridges good for 2000 pages go for €20.
Concluding, laser printers have obvious benefits for certain printing use cases. No discussion here. But please do not conflate the butchering and crappyfication of inkjet printing by HP and Canon with inkjet being slow/annoying/expensive/useless in general.
- thescriptkiddie 5y agoEven fancy inkjet printers tend to get their print heads irreversibly clogged if you let them sit too long without printing anything.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoMy parents does in fact talk about BW printing, hence as do I. And I own a Brother inkjet. It was the same deal as usual. I don't know about your experience, so can't really argue.
