I've not had an Epson inkjet for years and most entry level inkjects from anyone seem predicated on making profit from cartridges. I'd only buy an Epson or Brother that took the big tanks. The ink cartridges are a scam.

I don't have a problem with ink cartridges as long as they are single color. What I do have a problem are printers with one ink cartridge that contains all of the colors. That to me is a scam because if one color runs out you have to replace the entire cartridge even if there is plenty of ink for the other colors.
