Right but that’s all the more reason that ink jets are trash.
The ink heads dry out. The ink cartridges also dry out. So if you’re not using the printer a lot then those things tend to dry out forcing you to swap them, otherwise when you print there will be areas where the ink didn’t apply all the way. If you don’t have these problems you will eventually.
Lasers do not have this problem. You could print once every 5 years and each time the print will be perfect without any problems. You’ll only need to change the toner cartridge once it is completely used up. It won’t dry out on you making you prematurely replace it.
Ink jets are cheap but you get exactly what you pay for.
From my experience, those last years. But they are indeed a bit expensive… I have had my eco tank for the last 5 years, only had to replace the b/w printer head after around 4 thousand prints, and I’m almost sure it was my own fault for using expired low-quality ink that I had bought in bulk for super cheap.
I have an epson eco tank. No more ink cartridges.
Ink jets are trash tho
Laser or nothing.
You’re probably right, but I’m just printing random documents on occasion.

I don’t have cartridges and I’ve had no issue with the ink heads in the years I’ve had the printer.
What about printing head replacement?

That is a good number
