I have an ET-8550 that we bought for printing family photos to scrapbook. It eats ink from bottles instead of cartridges and is happily printing anything I can give it for 2 years now. I print 5-10 coloured pages every 1โ€“2 weeks for a hobby, plus two full photo albums came out of it, and we're still on the first set of ink bottles.
