Like Mix, I use a l aser for 'production' stuff. (currently a Dell, not a patch on my huge old HP which was honourably retired last year). But when my scanner turned up its toes I decided to give a Canon MG5250 a go. Fantastic colour quality, and good scanner. Used as a printer about once a month when quality demands it. Probably wastes a lot of ink with the start-up cleaning routine, but never a suspicion of colour failure.
Yet.
But when they're so cheap that ink retailers 'give them away' if you buy a couple of sets of cartridges from them, one shouldn't expect longevity, I guess...
