We need a new printer. Maybe I am just cynical but I feel increasingly like printers are cheap upfront but then outrageous on ink prices or with forced internet connection and updates at all times and other assorted printer based horror stories that I have been seeing a lot of in the past years.
I’m just wondering if anyone has actually GOOD (or at least ok) experiences with theirs and could point us in the right direction? Reminding me which ones not to use is also helpful here.
Thanks!
I know lots of people are saying laser, and it’s not a wrong choice. However, we just got an Epson ecotank inkjet printer, and I have to say I like it. It’s not for big jobs, that’s for sure, but the ink just comes in a bottle. It shipped with a fuckton of ink, too. For light to medium home use, and if you want to print photos (the one thing that inkjet is better than laser for), I think that would be a good option.
+1 for ecotanks
we’ve had one for 5+ years, and only refilled the ink once – we don’t print a lot 🙃
you can also refill them with third party ink and the printer can’t tell, unlike cartridge based printers with their chips
and it means way less waste; the tanks hold way more than a cartridge
