      Have they moved away from cartridges to ink tanks? We buy bottles of ink for our printer that last for a long time.

        They’re probably talking about laser printers. So technically cartridge I guess, but the toner lasts so long it’s pretty affordable.

        The ink tank printers sound interesting, but I don’t print very often. Do the heads still dry out on them?

          Oh…maybe. I read “ink” and thought inkjet.

          We are a family of 4. We don’t print a huge amount most of the time. The print head does sometimes get plugged up if it sits for a long time. It’s got a head cleaning cycle that does a good job of getting it cleared out and back in top shape. We’ve had it for a while now, years, and we really like it.

          I’ve actually been considering getting one of the smaller ones for my office.
