Best all-in-one printer for home use with cheap ink?

2 years 3 months ago #728616 by Liem Stailey
I don't have a big budget, still not working much.  I want to get a printer for my home, but I need something that is a all in one printer and ink is cheap.  Can you point me in the right direction please?  Thank you in advance.

Cheap ink is the bone in the soup, here.

In order to sell cheaper printers, manufacturers put chips on
their cartridges making them proprietary… and expensive.

Seriously?  So, no aftermarket companies make or can sell inks then?  That's messed up.

There are pro machines that will accept larger refill bottles but
these are over my pay grade!

Yep, printer companies have you hooked unfortunately.

Hey I get it and don't blame you for wanting to save some $$.  Believe me when I say don't go cheap on ink.  I've had the worst experiences in the past with cheap inks.  Not worth the trouble.

Printer ink is such a ripoff.  Sorry, but if you want your printer to run correctly, you need to bit the bullet and buy the ink from the manufacture.
