Do your self a favour and check out Brother color lasers. Prices are quite good and the speed and quality outstrip a jet by a long way.
My printer is mainly used for color photos and laser printers just aren’t as good at handling those.
How many photos do you print to make it worth it? I can send the files to my local photo lab and they generally print them within a couple hours. I'd have to print like 160 4x6 photos to spend the same as you spend each year in ink, and they are quality prints. If I went to Staples it would be even more.
Brother also has those EcoTank-like printers.
Even if it is not a laser, ink Brother printers are also bulletproof and as everybody says they work like a charm.
I had a brother printer and ditched it for an epson ecotank. Bought new cartridges for the brother and he cleaned it for first use, after that the half of it was empty. I just got about 30 prints from them. He immediatly flew out after this.
Epson ecoprints might be a good alternative. Bit more expensive upfront, but so much cheaper overall.
Epson workforce is great
