Never buy an Epson

Epson is the worst printer brand you can buy and they are a horrific company. They purposely force you to spend an insane amount of money on ink. If you print in b&w it will use ALL colors of ink. But somehow if youre low on ink in one color you can "temporarily print in b&w"??? If you use generic ink it will purposely print splotchy, or not print certain colors. I took the stickers off generic cartridges and they were literally epson cartriges that were refilled. It shouldn't work any differently. It will force you to constantly do power cleanings, killing your maintenance box life. I bought epson brand ink off amazon, and they are a bigger scam on amazon. I literally got 30 pages out of the cartriges. From the actual Epson store. The site says like 600. It says returns accepted. When i went to open a return it said "sorry this item cant be returned" with a grayed out start return button. So i messaged support to open a return case. I previously bought generic ink and the light magenta didnt register. Kinda crazy how the Epson brand light magenta was even more of a scam. And get this, after they ran out the knockoff cart registered. I am beyond pissed with this printer.

I mainly do black and white printing but sometimes do sickers and stuff. So i bought something for quality not capacity. I have a lazerjet. I print thousands of pages on one toner.

I have the xp970 and 15000🙄.

When i first got the printer it was not even this bad on ink at all. Thats why i bought the 15000. I think they are programmed to become more expensive the longer you have them so you dont notice at first.
