In this video, a Canon print cartridge is opened up and revealed not to contain the meagre 11.9 ml (0.4 fl oz) of ink it is advertised. The proposed solution is to buy a printer designed to be manually refilled with bottles of ink (such as the featured Epson EcoTank ET-2850), though it has only been tested briefly.

      Well, laser is pretty expensive when you want colour. I just replaced my god forsaken hp and after weighing my options i went with a brother ink tank. A laser with same features would cost well over double that.

      Another important thing is that people want more than just print, i want print,scan and copy all three.

      Ink is pretty cheap a whole refill will cost me 5 usd, from a third-party ink reseller for all the colours combined.

      If you want black and white only, just go laser.

        Sounds like the tiny room and lack of adequate ventilation is to blame there much more than the printer. Inkjet may not be much better, huffing printer ink can’t be good for you either.
