High-end art/photo printers have the same ink cost problem as consumer inkjets, but on an industrial scale.

I used to have an Epson A2 printer and a full set of inks cost more than £500.

You can get ink reservoir systems but they're messy and rather fragile. Although they do pay for themselves if you're printing at scale.
