Ok, I agree. So what are we to do? Refills are notoriously messy, and the quality is often so low, it's even unacceptable for my recipes. And knockoff cartridges suffer from similar outcomes and strange fates (one time a printer I had failed to even recognize it since the circuitry in the knockoff failed to identify itself properly)... How can we buy decent quality carts without paying these ripoff prices?

A lot of printers let you hack the cartridges so they last longer (often just a little piece of tape). Search the internet for your model.
