So I am looking out for an inkjet printer that can print in A3 size. The Epson ecotanks seem like they best fit my requirements, just wondering if it is actually refillable, and does not lock me out of actually using it after a certain amount of prints, no chips BS and all that. I have seen some stuff about the ink pad filling and then not being able to use it anymore ? Does anyone have experience with this printer and can vouch that it is not a gimmick and will actually work as a printer for a long time. Also how is Linux support for it. Thank you
Why not a laser?
I’ll never buy another inkjet in my life!
I sort of felt like that, currently have a brother laser printer I bought second hand. Prints very nicely and quickly but the tonner cannot be replaced easily, and seems to be a lot of work, need to buy another cartridge with a reset wheel, blow it out with a compressor. I can wear a mask and do all that but I have seen some information about needing to replace the chip on the cart as well. Also the current one only prints in A4. Just really wanting a printer that prints and that I can have replacement consumables on hand and not need to buy a tonner that costs half as much as the printer.
Hmm, I’ve had great luck with my brother MFC, but I bought it new. The sample toner that came with it lasted 3 years and changing it out is super easy…
