Printer replacement
-
We used to use third-party ink here. I had two leaks. It didn't destroy the printer, but it was a bit of a pain (and expense) to sort out. After the second time, I banned the use of them. I've never had HP ink cause a problem. Any printer downtime costs us money, so it just seems like false economy. Fine for home use, but not work.
50% failure rate does seem a bit high though

OK...so back on track please....
Anyone else want to toss a hat into ring?

It's not a 50% of cartridges. It's 50% of the time people use remanned cartridges, over the span of a year or two, it will ruin the printer, usually due to a leak. Also, most cartridges has a life on them, either by expiration or by use. So you're re-using a chip that's run it's life in a remanned cartridge. It's just bad juju...

As far as I'm concerned, either the Brother MFC-9970CDW or the HP OfficeJet Pro X576DW are your only two good options.

@Minion-Queen and @thanksaj I appreciate your help, however their budget is for something less expensive. Any ideas for the $300 range?

The HP Officejets or Epson Workforces would be the only options I can think.

Yes they are but they can do normal printing and we have a client or 2 with them and they really like them.

Set this bad boy up yesterday along HP Pro series desktop. It was nice to see that the product is a Professional Series Inkjet. Much bigger than our previous Brother consumer printers, this one is close to the specs of the 2 we bought.
Thanks for the recommendations!
