Pengyou Posted November 28, 2017 at 07:56 AM Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 at 07:56 AM I bought a printer about a dozen years ago that had ink tanks outside of the printer, connected to the printer with long, thin hoses. It didn't work very well - actually it worked well when it worked but often didn't work. Now I see Epson selling a printer that includes tanks outside of the printer that can be refilled by the user. Recently, I see JD selling Canon printers with an aftermarket kit - external ink tanks. JD usually doesn't sell junk. Does anyone have any recent experience (within the past 2 years) working with a printer that has external ink tanks? It is likely that I will be printing 200+ pages per week, so the economical aspect of these tanks is quite appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vellocet Posted November 29, 2017 at 05:49 PM Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 at 05:49 PM Yeah, if you print that much then spend the extra cash on a laser printer. Inkjets are for low use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengyou Posted November 30, 2017 at 04:16 AM Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 at 04:16 AM Yes, a laser is certainly better for high volume, but I also want to be able to print relatively high quality photos, and will be printing many things in color for students that I tutor. Laser color printers are much cheaper not than before, but the toner is still pretty spendy. The quality of photos is still not that good from a laser.
