In this video, a Canon print cartridge is opened up and revealed not to contain the meagre 11.9 ml (0.4 fl oz) of ink it is advertised. The proposed solution is to buy a printer designed to be manually refilled with bottles of ink (such as the featured Epson EcoTank ET-2850), though it has only been tested briefly.

They're spendy but you can get color laser printers as well. But yes, I love my brother laser printer.

    I splurged a little while back on a Brother HLL3290CDW. A bit spender than a monochrome laser, but the image quality is fine and it lets my wife print off as many stickers as she wants without having to spend big bucks on ink every couple of weeks.

    I have this same model. It's fantastic. The color isn't perfectly spot-on, but the contrast is there and it works. I've printed off a half dozen print-and-play games as well as three Netrunner sets with clear, legible results.
