Non rip off printer recommendation

[northernmunky]

Hi,
Being slightly fed up with inkjet printers containing ridiculously little ink and chips that claim the cartridge is empty when it isn't (we all know the story). Can anyone recommend a good colour inkjet printer for photography use that they swear by?

Currently have an Epson R285 I'm looking to replace.

Check out a continuous or refilable ink system instead.

You know what, thats probably the best suggestion! Likely cheaper than even buying refillables that has less that 4ml of ink and and is fixed by the chip to stop working even if its still half full!

That's the conclusion I came to. Sending my printing out not only saves money but means I don't have to compromise on size or stress about running out of ink half way through an A3 print... The Print Space can send you a sample pack of papers to choose from. I generally prefer the C-type prints as they feel more natural/analogue like a traditional photo.
