A comment on Ask HN: Why is it cheaper to buy a new laser printer than replace the cartridge?.

Is there any printer that represents the opposite of that statement? I recently tried to find a cheap way to print stuff, but all I found were cheap printers with expensive ink, even the ones designed for businesses, those even more so.

Why is there no 'opensource' / 'ecofriendly' / ... printer that's expensive to buy, but the ink is cheap & easy to replace?

Cheap laser printers work fine for black and white.

There are several ink jets with ink reservoirs instead of expensive cartridges (Epson EcoTank is one I know off the top of my head).
