In this video, a Canon print cartridge is opened up and revealed not to contain the meagre 11.9 ml (0.4 fl oz) of ink it is advertised. The proposed solution is to buy a printer designed to be manually refilled with bottles of ink (such as the featured Epson EcoTank ET-2850), though it has only been tested briefly.
Really hard to justify its cost if your ever print like, 50 pages a year.
Quite the opposite. Black and white laser printers are very cheap, and unlike inkjet printers they don’t dry out and clog if you don’t use them regularly. You can literally spend less than $100 for one that can print thousands of pages just with the toner cartridge it comes with. Color laser printers are the ones that are expensive.
And not even that expensive. 200 bucks will get you a good color laser printer
If you print rarely inkjet is going to dry out and stop working, making them even more expensive and annoying.
