  Talking about document feeding. Whatever happened to chain paper (as we say in the Netherlands, but it's "continuous stationery paper" or " continuous form paper" elsewhere) ? That was the best paper feeding way ever. You could put a full box below your printer and you could seemingly forever feed your printer with paper.

  Very informative and honest content. Had Canon G4000 which was expensive when I bought it, thinking this is the best cheapest solution for my casual printing. I found myself doing maintenance (flush the ink) to get decent printing. I eventually gave up after 6 years, and after paying service center a good amount of money for sponge replacement, and many DIY attempt.

  The purging function and the sponge is not unique to ink tanks. This keeps the head from getting clogged to the point of ruining the whole printer. It's actually a great feature, and it makes even more sense if you can get the ink that much cheaper.

  These Epson tank printers are less than half the price listed in this video, noticed the update on Epson's maintenance policy but nothing on any updated pricing. The ET-2850 is $189 on Amazon as I write this btw.

  I looked it up and a replacement waste pad for my ET-4850 is AUD12 and the licence key for software to reset the waste ink counter would be USD10. I watched videos of how easy it is to open and replace the waste pad. This "problem" is easily and cheaply solved.

  Is this the case in the EU? I'd expect the much more consumer protecting laws there would not allow for this sort of practice.

  I just replaced the ink sponge and, after an unsatisfying exchange with Epson (service centers are 300 and 700 km away from us, despite us being close to a major city), I found a $10 utility from a 3rd party in the UK that hacks the firmware to reset the ink counter. We print in batches, with long gaps between, and find we have to clean the printer often, even if it has been idle for only a day or two. This should be a user-servicable item, with a menu-driven reset. Epson has lost my respect.

  Inkjet Cartridges directly on the print head carrier are the way to go. Any model with Cartridges or Tanks with tubing running many inches to the printhead are a total disaster for ink usage and especially if you have to clean the printheads.

  My current home printer is a Brother INKvestment MFC-J1215DW (a Walmart exclusive, very similar to the MFC-J1205), which cost me US$89.95 about 3 years ago. I've only had to replace the INKvestment oversized ink cartridges (Brother's alternative to the bottles used with other brands of tank printers) twice in that time, most recently about a month ago. Do your criticisms of tank printers also apply to the Brother INKvestment range?

•

  I really like Brother printers. They are reliable, good on ink, and don't seem to partake in the same scam like behavior of other brands. Their inkvestment range of products seem to be really good printers.

  Buy once, cry once. I'm going color laser (or LED) with my next purchase and never looking back. Inkjets are a great scam because they're cheap to make, cheap to manufacture ink for, and the ink can be sold at markup; the up-front cost looks low, which to most people reads "I don't print a lot, that's for me!" Damn shame.

  I bought the GX7020 Maxify Canon. I chose this model because it has a removable printhead. The Epson Ecotank has a fixed printhead. You should seriously consider looking at the tank printers who not use a sponge but a removable cartridge dedicated for cleaning ink.

  Yeah, I nearly took the bait on one of those ink-tank printers. Went with a laser printer instead. It's expensive, the toner is even more expensive. The unit itself is a tank... and loud as hell when it prints. But this is probably the last printer I'll need for a long, long while and I don't have to worry about the toner evaporating from non-use. I print so little that it'll probably be years before I even get through the starter toner.

  I have a laser printer and it allows you to refill the cartridge with toner powder. A new branded toner cartridge would be $116 but 100g of toner powder is just $15.

  The epson ecotanks have a sponge cartridge that costs a few bucks, is user replaceable and the printer works for yaers at a very low cost compared to hp. I think you did this video only to clickbait. We have three of them and two of them are used in companies. They are the most reliable and cost effective printers we have ever owned.

  I have experience with only one of this type of printers, my mother's (€250) 6 liquid ink Canon PIXMA G650. It is 3 years old and very seldom used so the nozzles got clogged with dry ink. Purchased a €11 bottle of printerhead cleaner, got the printer heads out and flushed each channel, then did an ink flush and it is as good as new. Eventually the waste tank will fill up but it is €10 to OEM replace and has a chip that resets the counter. I still find it better value for money than many other printers I have had and will probably be buying one to replace my Epson 8 ink photo printer, just my 2 cents

  These is so many solutions to all problems you mention about Epson. There is these software mostly free that reset the waste pad counter or sensor back to zero. If indeed the waste pad is saturated you can easily replace them, you can even wash it then reuse the waste pad. I been using epson printer for almost 15yrs. You can even use third party, very cheap inkjet ink without any issue.

  1 year in and I can't fill new ink, it doesn't pour from the bottle into the tank. Probably clogged tubes or something I have no idea. I have tried to fix printers before and failed miserably because of how hard they are to take apart. To the printers printing credit, I printed easily 3 times the amount of pages before running out of ink with the ecotank than I ever did with traditional cartridges. No contest, but I am a year in and now I have a Printer that either needs to go to repair, Or I have to attempt to dissamble and get to the clog if thats what it is with out the right tools and work space. No Bueno. If they know there is going to be clogging issues I wish there was a took or something eaiser to access and resolve the issues.

  This is by no means an endorsement forever since all corporate ethics are subject to change, but at the moment, in early 2024, the only printer manufacturer I'll buy from is Brother. They're far from perfect, but seem to be the least bad. In some cases they seem to sell the consumer decent quality, reasonably honest printers that don't have inherent design flaws, particularly their basic black and white laser units. I have heard about their color lasers pulling some shenanigans with 3rd party carts, but have never had issues with black and white models, and in fact still have a 17 year old HL-2140 floating around my upstairs office that works just fine and only now needs a replacement drum. I did take a look at their ink tank printers (in their case it's really just a cartridge that's FULL OF INK LIKE YOU'D EXPECT IT TO BE) and it's actually fairly priced; less than $300 for an all-in-one with an ADF and can take 11x17 paper. I can't speak for the overall quality since I only own laser printers, but if I were adamant about getting an ink tank printer specifically they'd probably be my first consideration.

  For me epson eco tank printer are the most reliable and efficient in the market. My L360 got 200,000 page printout. I replace wastepad and timing belt once then reset the counter. One bottle of 664 ink black can print 5000 pages. Ecotank are design to use everyday not for single use. If you print once in a while go for cartridges type so that if the heads clog you can replace cartridges and you good to go.

  After many days of researching printers I have come to the sad, but realistic conclusion that there are no good, cost effective, consumer friendly printers in existence. I just need to print documents so I will be buying the absolute cheapest printer I can and when the ink runs out...or the printer dies, I will just throw it out and buy another one. I am done with all this ink garbage that has been going on for decades now.

  If all you're printing is documents then it's a solved problem. A B&W laser printer is almost zero cost to run. I print fairly often and have only had 3 printer cartridge changes in about 6-7 years, costing me a total of about £60 as I don't get brand name ones and they are just as good.
