you're probably right, but I purchased an Epson 'EcoTank' printer, black-and-white printing only & with a refillable ink hopper and couldn't be happier for simple document printing.
The only gotcha i'm aware of is that they use this 'primer box' thing to squirt excess ink into during nozzle procedures that apparently will eventually fill up and require replacement, but I haven't heard of any need to do so after 3+ years of printing, so i'll count that as a win as compared to cartridge replacement which seemed to be a constant burden with our previous HP units.
- kyrra 4y agoI went with Epson as well after having a xerox laser printer for about a decade. The xerox allowed me to do aftermarket toner and it work decently well, but it's still had issues. Sadly a good laser printer, the toner is just far too expensive. When I was researching the Epson printers, I learned about pigment ink and how it doesn't smear with water like traditional inkjet printers did. It's worked really well for the last few years I've had it.
- makeitdouble 4y agoSadly Epson is getting out of laser printer business [0], which to me signals they’ll be fully focusing on screwing users going forward.
