I haven't had any reason to print in color for like 20 years. I'm sure many consumers are the same.

If I do need to print color, I'll pay $0.10 at UPS or the library or whatever to print it off.

Every inkjet printer on this planet has a choice. Cheap ink, accessible printheads, expensive. You have to pick one.

Certain Hp? Expensive cartridges but new print heads with every cart. Epson ecotank? Cheap ink but non replaceable printheads. High-end printers? Insanely priced printheads and ink.

The only way out is laser.

But have a close look at the model you are buying. We recently noticed that the relatively cheap Epson Ecotank we bought for our daughter is a bit difficult to maintain. You simply have no access to the printheads.
