I was printing something, a couple of days ago, when I got an alert that 2 of my printer cartridges were getting low. So I did some math and realized that I have spent twice as much on the ink as I have on the printer, in the last 5 years. So enough of throwing good money after bad. We went to the electronics store today & bought one of the Epson Ecotank printers that do not use cartridges. I have set it up & figured out how to do things I need, like scanning documents & printing 2-sided pages. I like the ink set-up. The bottles are designed not to spill and only to fit the correct reservoir.
