      Epson is running the market hard with their EcoTank printer. I’ve seen one litre bottles for less than €50.

      If not, go for refurbished/refilled cartridges.

      I still remember the fun of refilling old HP cartridges for a dime a dozen.

        Those ink tank printers are their own kind of scam though, they clog if you dont use them frequently enough, and they use a non-replaceable dump pad when cleaning and purging that effectively bricks the printers when it is considred full, which is usually just a timer, not an actual sensor.

          Ugh, I keep getting an error when posting a reply so I just repeat the send.

          Thank you for the warning.

              Agreed! I miss my Samsung CLP. That was a real battle horse!

              Yet, the talk was about printer ink and it is really hard to beat the price for that much ink, for those machines.

              Fun fact: I don’t even own one of those machines. I have a Canon. Still cheaper than HP cartridges but those assholes tie the entire machine operation to the cartridges.
