Kodak did this a few years but the big printer companies slashed prices in the printers to next to nothing. Kodaks $200 printer with cheap ink, huge cartridges, and no chips didn’t sell well when Canon would have a similar printer (scan, print, etc) for $49 next to it. Consumers are dumb.
Brother’s eco tank is close… but if they are killing that off in the name of ink selling greed as this meme suggests…
I had a Kodak printer. The first reload I put in it was off brand and it proceeded to immediately brick itself. Refused to recognize any cartridges even the originals.
Also EcoTank is Epson, super duper recommend. I use to sell printers and I would only sell Brother and Epson.
If you’ve got any questions about them I still have my Epson contact in my phone
