I wonder when someone will come up with a hipstery, fancy-looking printer that sells on the basis of "we don't give a crap about all that, here's a bag of ink refills,, just pay us more up-front".
All the tech startups are out there trying to get you into a subscription, I think we're getting to the point where this is annoying enough that you could sell very expensive, fashionable small-run hardware to people on the basis of not being this.
They're called laser printers. Ink is for idiots, especially if you only print once in a while.
I’ve been told that this is Brother Printers but I don’t own one as I no longer need a printer. Not sure how accurate but quite a few folk claim Brother is the last bastion of just buying and using a printer with whatever ink you put through it.
I have a Brother laser printer. I print a lot. It just works, it's cheap and you can use off-brand toner. It's great!
I bought mine a few years ago, and I'm still on the original toner cartridge.
I don't use it as often as I thought I would, but my Brother laser printer has served me well.
Yep, i work in it, and for small Printers brother is the only good Option.
