No, I think that’s blatantly wrong.
Idk if Brother is the best no-bullshit alternative, but it’s definitely supposed to be a no-bullshit alternative.
Even if we had no other alternative, we could crowd-fund one.

YashaB@lemmy.world 11 months agoPeople are still buying HP printers because there are no alternatives. In my experience Epson is the worst. The are all the same, and we have no alternative other than letting them fuck with us. And they know it.

I’ve never used on owned an Epson but I’ve been hearing wonders about the EcoTank line.
Affordable, lasting, dirt cheap ink, user replaceable printing heads, also cheap, and linux friendly.

I would advise against it, see my other comment.

Are we talking about the machines that have literal pull out trays for ink, that comes in very large bottles, or an earlier model?
Because the EcoTanks I’ve been told about have those features.

The Epson Eco Tank is absolutely amazing…HP sucks but don’t shame Epson.

Funny. I bought a expensive Evotank because I loved the Idea of not having cartridges. To fill this tanks you still need cartridges though, so you still have the waste.
The paper in- and outlets were very narrow, what made refilling paper a hassle.
The software was very clunky, some cleaning programs did not work. After a year the prints became quite poor.
Another year later this print heads were clogged, no matter how much alcohol we poured on it. I threw the whole thing away. Never again.
The HP I hade a couple years ago was much better.
I am not saying this company is better than the other, I am convinced they are all the same. Some products are better, some are worse.

Brother has been amazing. Good products, manufacturer support for all operating systems, no subscription bullshit.
