I bought an Epson ecotank that I haven't had issues with

They don't make their money back on the ink cartridges and instead price the printer as a printer actually should be

Think ink has lasted me for a while but I'm personally not using it everyday to print

The ink isn't cartridges but it comes in bottles you can buy to refill ink tanks on the printer

If I have any issues then I will update my recommendation but the printer has been good for me personally

I have a canon ink tank printer and haven’t had to refill the ink tanks in 3 years. I don’t even know where they are. I print a lot of knitting patterns and workbook type stuff, but not often. Still, when I do use the printer, I use quite a bit of ink. I’ve been really happy with it! I think most printers with ink tanks are going to be a good bet, but I have never seen an HP printer function correctly after the first print or two. I won’t pay them any attention, let alone buy an HP printer. I’m convinced HP is single-handedly why printers have such a bad reputation.

They are the printer enshitification. Prove me wrong.

I've read that some have a non-user-replaceable waste tank/sponge?
