I’ve seen reviews saying that a firmware update stopped 3rd party ink/toner from working. Both myself and my mom have Brother printers that we love and have used for years. It’s disappointing and they’re great printers but I don’t want to pay a premium on toner/ink just because. But yeah, as @cerberus_cat said, refillable ink is good too if you need an ink jet printer but I don’t know why anyone would want ink over laser.
Brother is no longer allowing 3rd party ink and toner too so do your research there as well.
Here’s the thing. I don’t know if it will get a massive amount of usage. Lemmy is fine right now but not having the userbase that reddit has is brutal. I want to talk sports with people but all the sports communities are dead. If I look at an Orioles community the game threads have 12 comments all by bots giving pitching/scoring updates.
Just like a Hippo and a Zippo. One’s really heavy and the other’s a little lighter.
Inkjet might be cheaper to buy the device but you’ll pay out the ass for ink. Toner just lasts so much longer. I haven’t bought toner since 2019.
