Why is that?
It wastes ink keeping the ink head lubricated and ready to print.
The ink cartridges in these cheap printers contain very small amount of ink vs the tank style that last a year or two.
PLUS, printer manufacturers are now locking their printers to THEIR brand of ink cartridges, but tank printers, since you just use a bottle of ink, there is no way to control that, so you can buy cheaper ink and fill your tanks (but to be honest, OEM ink is pretty cheap and lasts a long time).
If possible, don't choose HP. They're a greedy, terrible company that was bricking their customers printers with a firmware update that if you didn't have genuine HP cartridges installed, your printer stopped working. They're always playing games to get you to pay for ink (their subscription service that caused the printer to stop printing if you didn't buy enough ink). I just no longer trust HP.
This one uses ink cartridges.
I have the Epson ET-3850, that uses bottles. The reservoirs are huge, and the replacement ink is affordable. I will never buy a cartridge-based inkjet printer again. I used to trust Brother.

Or you can buy Epson and get large ink bottles that fill a reservoir. (And you can save money on the printer and the ink.) The Epson listed above uses cartridges, so probably a waste of money.
