Those printers are definitely gold for heavy users. Cheap ink. If you don't use it a lot, would the ink dry and damage the printer? Or evaporate and vanish?

Honest question because imk cartridges dry out all the time.

It is possible for the ink to dry out in the print nozzles if don't print often enough. I never print with yellow and I did have my yellow nozzle clog once. I bought a flush kit off Amazon, and flushed out the nozzle as directed.

It was somewhat annoying, but not too terrible.

that could happen regardless of cartridge/refillable tank though, no?

I'd think so. Back when we used ink cartridges they would sometimes become clogged. You could instruct the printer to go through a cleaning routine. Wasted a lot of ink to clean them. That or replacing the cartridge would work. These were HP printers.
