Get an older version of the HP printers if you like that brand. I've had Officejets 6900 and 7500 and 8500 series. Cartridges still widely available and the printers accept mortification for external tanks. I only have the 7500 now in the wide format and it's still going strong. Easy to maintain too. I do have a laser printer as well which I only use for b/w printing. Have had experience with fixing other brands in the past and by far the Brother is the most user friendly I guess. Epsons are okay and easy to find parts for.
I saw some Epson or Canon printers with ink tanks.
If I buy any printer for a >30-40% humidity environment it will be one of those.
If it's mostly dry it will be a toner/laser based.
I have a canon with an ink tank. I love it, but it's only about 4 months old. I'll actually curious how I feel about it in a decade from now.
Assuming the ink won't dry out and the driver will not dematerialize or break something I think very good.
I read somewhere that you should not mix inks so I wish you good luck with the vendor of your ink.
