I just got the EcoTank one and it doesn’t use cartridges AND I can see the ink level. For my use cases it ticks all the boxes.

The EcoTank draws a lot of power constantly, and can not be left off for long times or that ink will ruin everything.

It has the problem the GP was talking about, increased to complete new levels.

Not in my experience. Have had one for several years, switch it on when I need and turn off for weeks at a time. Runs perfectly and total cost of ownership is already lower than the mid-range pro HP printer I had before.

Also laser printers draw a lot of power constantly, you may be confused here. The toner needs to be kept warm.

The problem for GP and for me too is inkjets needs a couples of cleaning and test prints after a drop of IPA on K, C, LC, LM and M ink drawing port each time I'd use it. That won't happen with lasers at all.

Having both color laser and inkjet, color laser printers can dry out parts inside that can make the operation not work well.
