If you are thinking of buying an inkjet printer, get one that has separate CMY (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow) cartridges rather than a single colour cartridge that contains all three CMY colours. Some printers that take single colour cartridges containing all three colours insist that you replace the whole cartridge if any one of the three colours happens to run out. With such a printer, you could often end up wasting a lot of ink, and ink is very expensive.
Also prefer printers that take cartridges with built-in print-heads, as opposed to cartridges that are just ink containers feeding print-heads that are built permanently into the printer. The majority of Epson printers have print-heads that are permanently built into the printer, and if they get badly clogged, the printer can be a write-off. I’ve wasted hours trying to use a ‘Print-head Hospital’ kit to unclog an Epson printer, which ended up being scrapped when the attempt failed. If your printer takes cartridges with built-in print-heads, you can solve bad clogs by simply fitting a new cartridge.
Another good idea is to check whether the printer will accept third-party cartridges rather than only original ones provided by the printer manufacturer. Almost all inkjet printers contain what the manufacturers euphemistically call ‘revenue protection mechanisms’ which are designed to prevent you from using third-party cartridges. The makers of inkjet printers always discourage you from even trying to use third-party cartridges by saying that they will produce inferior results, but all the makers are really worried about is the potential loss of expensive cartridge sales.
