I'm kind of stuck wondering which printer would actually be worth my hard-earned cash here.
I was leaning towards looking at this one:
Any thoughts? Thanks a ton!

HP OfficeJet K5400
Replacement ink for that model runs about $27
And honestly, the printer itself isn't great.

I've got one myself, though I wouldn't say it's anything to write home about. 🤷

The thing is massive—it takes up nearly half my office space just sitting there—and honestly, when I fire it up, it sounds like a fleet of fighter jets is performing a low-altitude flyover right above my roof.

That being said, the color accuracy and print speed are actually pretty solid.

The thing takes up half my room just by itself, and when I actually turn it on, I feel like a squadron of fighter jets is about to level my house.

Colors and speed are decent enough, though.

And what do you want? Something built like a tank that works better than an EPSON? And doesn't break down like an EPSON? That kind of machine doesn't exist.

That's why a single print on this thing costs about a nickel and can last through 50,000 to 100,000 copies.

If that's a dealbreaker for you, just grab a newer consumer model instead of a Profi HP. They cost about the same anyway.

Look, if I’m pulling the trigger on a purchase right now, I’d definitely go with the Canon ip4600 🤷

Honestly, I think for $333 you can actually find something that outperforms the 5400n 🤷

Not really sure which corner of this forum to toss this question into, so I guess I'll just drop it here: what’s the move when your printer decides to quit on you, and where do I even take it?🤔

1. service? (probably isn't worth the hassle if we're talking about a few hundred bucks)
2. junk?

I am inquiring if there are any individuals interested in purchasing genuine ink cartridges for HP, Canon, or Epson printers.
I have an assortment of various models and colors available...
The price is set at $11 per unit.
