I disagree. A few years ago I bought Epson XP-6000 after a few years of laser printers. It's the best printer I ever had. Ink is ok in price but I don't use the printer much. It works whenever I need it though. On top of it, it's also a great photo printer. Printed tens of photos to date and all come out ok - comparable to consumer shop photo printers (the ones you can use in big shops).
