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.

    +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
