Well, the EcoTanks are pretty expensive to begin with. They also have some colour quality issues that requires you to waste ink to like… recalibrate every so often, or something thing like that?

But most of the time, it's fine, and the ink is cheap.

All of the inkjets on the shelf would have similar prices to the EcoTanks if they weren't sold at or below cost and subsidized by their cartridges.

It costs HP/Canon at least (if not more than) $49 to build a $49 inkjet all-in-one.
