Comment on HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies
LWD@lemm.ee 9 months agoHave you looked into printers that accept refillable containers of ink rather than cartridges? I haven’t looked too closely, but I see Epson makes some too, and the prices are pretty reasonable.
Every inkjet printer on this planet has a choice. Cheap ink, accessible printheads, expensive. You have to pick one.
Certain Hp? Expensive cartridges but new print heads with every cart. Epson ecotank? Cheap ink but non replaceable printheads. High-end printers? Insanely priced printheads and ink.
The only way out is laser.
“Pick two…”
I’m refilling stock HP cartridges for now, so I guess I’m technically getting the best of both worlds, but I wouldn’t wish the process of replacement on anybody.
But have a close look at the model you are buying. We recently noticed that the relatively cheap Epson Ecotank we bought for our daughter is a bit difficult to maintain. You simply have no access to the printheads.

I haven’t had any reason to print in color for like 20 years. I’m sure many consumers are the same.
If I do need to print color, I’ll pay $0.10 at UPS or the library or whatever to print it off.
