There are better inkjets like tank printers using ink bottles. Cheaper per page than even laser printers, and can't detect 3rd party ink (cause it's a liquid lmao). None of this subscription stuff is required. They don't have the gamut of say 7 cartridge ink jets obviously, but still better than laser printers I imagine. The main drawback is the extra maintenance of an inkjet with them drying up and all that.
