Thanks for your reply. Did you get the refill inks from Epson or 3rd party
like http://www,ink555.com Lastly, how many Cartridge does your printer have, 4 or 2 ?

 

[jtjt00]

There are 4, 3 colors and 1 black.
The refill bottles are unique design, no way to use 3rd party.

Spoiler

Your printer's model can't use 3rd party ink, i will look for those that can use 3rd party ink.

printhead can dry up and can't be use anymore ?

I am using Epson L3150 ink tank printer. Honestly, 9+ bucks for a bottle of original ink is not that bad from my perspective. The ink tanks are quite big, so I am not expecting it to finish or dry up that fast.

And yes, one of the problem with inkjet printers is that the ink will dry up and potentially clot the nozzle. Which is why I prefer laser printers. However due to space constraints, there is not much color laser printer options.

I was looking at laser option before L4160 purchase. The cost of toners put me off.

I wonder does both of you aware that laser printer consume more power (~300 watts).

Are there any disadvantages of using ink tank printers?

If say the nozzle dry up, how much will it cost to replace the cartridge?

I need a new inkjet printer and the cost of normal inkjets damn expensive, so looking at ink tanks.

Laser printer is super durable as per your request. lifespan 10 years +
Inkjet need to print every week to prevent printer head dry up.
if lucky, it can survive years.... if unlucky, it can spoil within months.

-canon printers are highly sensitive to third party ink.
-most of the people here uses epson because of the low cost ink operation.
-hp printer ($15~$45) is cheap to dispose even if spoil. The ink is not cheap as epson, quality is not better than canon.

Nozzle dry up still can use nozzle cleaner to clean, but if cartridge dry up
you have to replace whole cartridge for less than $50.

No issue, as printer is off most of the time.
