    Diy refill is pretty good if you wait 24 hour or if you have a priming kit.

      Why wait 24 hours? I refill my cartridges and wait about 30 minutes to make sure any excess ink has dripped out of the cartridges. Then I can print with no issues.

    Step 1: get a laser printer if you print more than a dozen pages a month.

      Laser are pretty much useless if you print photos like in the video so no.

      @@Tailslol agreed. I use a laser printer for everything but photos. For photos, I have a midrange Epson inkjet. I'm considering doing all my photo prints with a 3rd party service to avoid all the crap associated with inkjets.

      Inkjet printers by HP seem like they used to last longer than the newer models.

    Well... this test is not quite right if you print a photo on regular non photo paper. Your idea is good but you need to do the test properly, with proper paper and use the matching icc profile. Sorry, but if you don't know all about printing, please do your homework before doing such video... unless your goal is only for entertainment purposes or to get clicks... 🤡
