Inkjet definitely has a place; it’s for high-resolution and accuracy printing, esp. photography. Consumer-level inkjet printers are mostly a waste of money. A correctly calibrated ink jet printer will print color more accurately–within it’s gamut capability–and be higher resolution than laser printers. I’ve really liked Epson large format printers in the past, but I’m not sure who currently does the best large photo printers.
I’m sorry, I was going to reply, but my printer had a forced update and then detected an unauthorized cyan cartridge from a third party, shut down, and called the police to arrest me for violating HP’s terms of servitude, er “service”.
There are better inkjets like tank printers using ink bottles. Cheaper per page than even laser printers, and can’t detect 3rd party ink (cause it’s a liquid lmao). None of this subscription stuff is required. They don’t have the gamut of say 7 cartridge ink jets obviously, but still better than laser printers I imagine. The main drawback is the extra maintenance of an inkjet with them drying up and all that.
I haven’t bought a printer in years, but had to service a crappy one for work. I’m very interested in this ink bottle refill type of printer. That honestly sounds perfect. Didn’t know it was a thing. Thank you.

So stop buying HP in other words.
