"Prosumer" printers are pretty good, regardless of technology, I think.
I own an Epson Workforce Pro WF-5620, it's an inkjet MFP, does full duplex for both printing an scanning, wifi connected, scans to google drive/dropbox, etc.
I shed about EUR 220 (250$) for it back in 2016, and I just changed the color cartridges for the first time about one month ago (I had changed the black one about one year ago, and it's 80% full). The newer, larger ones, will probably last forever.
While it IS possible to buy compatible ink for a lower price tag, I think the cartridge price (around ~30 EUR for the XL version) is totally reasonable for the amount of printing it provides.
I must say that the cartridge price increased a bit over the years, but that seems true for most (all?) models.
