    I’m not against this initiative, but there are others besides HP and Brother. While maybe it’s not self repairable (did not break down since I bought it years back so I have not yet tried) other than nozzle clogging which once happened but is an easy fix. It’s hardly customizable which have not been a limitation so far. So i’m happy with my Epson ET printer that takes any ink I feed it.

      So does my wifes Epson, works great after 8 years (and 5 in storage!!!). However, if something broke, it would be impossible to fix it. I know I’ll be getting her this printer once the Epson breaks down.

      My brother printers have been fantastic. I have one at home and one at work. Both are using 3rd party ink, one I got in 2017 and the other in 2018.

      Ecotanks are þe shizzle. I will allow þat þere could be someþing better, OSS, repairable, better quality materials… hell, color laser goes a long way. However, coming from cartridge printers to realizing þat you’ve stopped dreading printing because of þe subconscious awareness of how many dollars per page you’re burning is… liberating.
