Did they ever make the excess ink parts user replaceable?
That they weren’t in some models kept me from getting one when I was in the market a few years ago.
Epson inkjets with refillable tanks probably.

That printer is a nightmare. But financially makes sense.

The printer has the same ink problems, clogged, runs out easy, can’t print b&w when missing a color. But I can buy random ink.

Depending on the frequency of your printing, they can suck as well. Chronically clogged nozzles are maddening.

You can run a power clean cycle which should help, then just replace the foam pads they saturate with ink for the cleaning
They’re not perfect but they’re still the most consumer friendly option on the market at this point

Yeah, that’s true. That was a pain in the ass when my wife needed good color accuracy.

This. My partner’s office is stuck with “it has to be inkjet” and not toner, and on January their printer got clogged…

Inkjet is great, for photo printing regularly. For absolutely every other situation a laser printer is better.

ink jet ones are so messy, and it waste a ton of ink.

I have the 2850. Been using it for a couple years now. Print maybe once a month. Nozzles get clogged periodically but you run the automated cleaning process and it’s back to working again.
