Eeeh, I had a black and white (well, black) inkjet from HP in the 90s' and the ink would always dry out. I don't think I ever managed to finish a cartridge on that thing.

Inkjets have always sucked. Lasers all the way, even for colour. And if you want to print photos, go through a lab, it's way cheaper anyway.
