Anyone have a recommendation on a printer that does not run out of ink in a few pages printed? Maybe less then $200. Obviously want it wifi that can scan also. But mainly want to stop spending $60-70 a cartridge on ink a month.

I have this one. It’s great if all you want to do is print.

Epson Eco Tanks are cheap for ink. The user interface is very basic, not even a touch screen on mine. Maybe some models have that.

Epson

Cheap ink.

Switched at work. It’s great.

For the price of two toners and two drums you can get a great epson. Then ink is like $20(?) and it lasts. It’s a tube for an easy refillable cartridge.

Laserjet Brother 2760 if you want ADF.

Inkjets are all trash.

Canon Pixma 6000 or 3270, both have worked great for us, we have printed over 1000 pages and still on the first bottles of ink, the ink is easy to add and not expensive.

Got an Epson a year and a half back. Just added black for the first time. Other colors still above half full. Can’t beat that for a home printer. Shaq baws

I just got this one after my old Inkjet finally kicked the bucket- it was well over 10 years old and was basically this same printer. I got the 9125 which has a few More features, but it’s been great so far

OfficeJet 8125

Another vote for Epson. I love the ink reservoir instead of the cartridges.

I have a cannon pixma something or other that has tanks you refill rather than cartridges. I highly recommend this type.

Brother laser printer for almost every situation. Just choose color or B&W and any other features you need. They are so much more reliable than an inkjet it is almost funny. The cost per page is also significantly lower.

The exceptions are if you want to do photo printing or print on specialty papers/cardstock. The other situation is if you only print a few pages a month and would never recoup the extra upfront cost, but based on the OP's running out of ink comment, that isn't relevant to them.

I guess it depends on your usage.

I don’t print much. I wanted a laser for a while for some reason, heard they’re the best, etc. Couldn’t find a good enough deal and just wasn’t gonna pay what they wanted for a color laser.

I purchased the best reviewed Epson Ecotank and I gotta say, it’s been pretty solid. I don’t think I’d print the family pictures on it and not sure about heavy usage but it’s been awesome for a single family, non-work from home use case.
