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!
Edit: thanks everyone for the feedback! This is very helpful.
I have a brother laser printer for black and white stuff and an Epson EcoTank for high quality color printing. I replace the toner on my brother printer maybe once every 2 to 3 years under heavy use. The EcoTank doesn’t use printer cartridges, just straight up bottles of ink that you use to fill reservoirs. It lasts quite a while, but I use this printer considerably less than the brother.
Brother is by and far the best choice for laser printers imo.
I have also an Epson EcoTank and rarely use it, but it works.
