Life Span of Printers with Continuous Ink System

Hello Nathan Bale.

Personally, I think it is more cost effective to use a continuous ink system on your inkjet printer.  I have a Brother DCP-165C which I bought 2 years ago for use at home.  Back when I was still using original ink I couldn't print as much as I needed to.  Everytime I print a document or photo I worried how it was costing me.  I then decided to buy the continuous ink system which is basically just a super upsized set of ink cartridges.  No messy hoses, no modifications required on my printer.  It's been more than 2 years already and I haven't even had to refill my cartridge.  The printer still prints flawlessly.   Not to endorse or anything but I suggest you get a Brother printer so you would not have to put up with messy hoses and complicated set ups for your continuous ink system.
