OK, so I read up a lot.
My family still prints a lot of colour (school stuff) so I'm leaning towards an ink-tank printer. I want duplex printing, and an ADF.
- Epson: most people seem to recommend it, but many people are also upset about the "ink pad end of service" or
waste ink issue. Has this happened to anybody?
- Brother: Nobody really complains about Brother printers, but you don't hear too much about their ink tank printers either. How do they deal with waste ink?
HP: they seem pretty decent to me? Ink looks reasonably priced (gasp!) and since it is ink, there's no way they can lock you into it. Still deciding if I like the fact that you can replace the print-heads (they're not too expensive) - does this mean it is something that you will definitely be doing down the line? Some recommendations online that this is a
good thing but there's a lot of mistrust in HP (and rightly so).
Canon: Doesn't feature as much, but generally it looks like their "maintenance cartridge" idea is well received. Fewer specials. Ink seems more expensive?
Thoughts?
