      Depending on the frequency of your printing, they can suck as well. Chronically clogged nozzles are maddening.

        You can run a power clean cycle which should help, then just replace the foam pads they saturate with ink for the cleaning

        They’re not perfect but they’re still the most consumer friendly option on the market at this point

          After talking to support 15 times, they never suggested replacing anything, and power clean wasn’t enough. I’ve long since destroyed the thing out of malignant rage and turned to libraries and copy shops, but it’s good to know that there might have been a solution.

        Yeah, that’s true. That was a pain in the ass when my wife needed good color accuracy.

        This. My partner’s office is stuck with “it has to be inkjet and not toner", and on January their printer got clogged…

        I don’t print that often but I do have a calendar event to tell me to print something monthly. This could be a nice side project for someone to write a program that sends a print to your printer on a schedule to keep the heads clear. Wastes paper but at least the heads won’t dry out.

      That printer is a nightmare. But financially makes sense.

      The printer has the same ink problems, clogged, runs out easy, can’t print b&w when missing a color. But I can buy random ink.
