brother doesn't do this maybe, but they also recently started purposefully degrading print quality for 3rd party ink

Just get an inkjet that uses tanks instead of cartridges. Can't put a chip into liquid ink.

That is a big downside. Have to remember to print at least monthly or deal with clogged heads.

If heads clog with Instant Ink, just swap the ink cart. It’s free. You only pay for prints.
