Don’t print much? Get a laser. Otherwise your ink will dry out and you’ll have to get new ink every time you want to print.

I’ve literally never had this happen and I print so infrequently that if I have to buy a new cartridge, I’ll just… not print at home anymore. Is it really that common?

I’m not going to recommend inkjets to anyone though. My recommendation anno 2025 is don’t buy a printer if you can get by without one.
