Honestly, I don’t mind inkjet as a technology, the quality is plenty good and I don’t give a crap about speed. And as you can see from this design they’re a whole lot more compact. The whole reason I don’t use them is the predatory ink pricing, which this product in theory solves!
For now, you can get inkjet printers that use liquid ink. Ostensibly Canon wants me to use Canon brand ink for my printer, but there’s nothing stopping me from buying some off brand and dumping it in the tanks
Tank inkjets tend not to be subsidized because of the lack of lock in. They’re considerably more expensive than those that use cartridges. So you are paying for the ability to put in whatever you want.

Which to me is a no-brainer. (I do have a laser printer though)
Yeah, mine did cost like $160, but it is nice to know that canon can’t decide to end support and brick it in 10 years
That’s actually a good deal for a tank inkjet last I saw.
