We are printing about 100 pages per day, mostly photos and student artwork, but use inexpensive paper and don't need photo-quality. Currently using R280, and while it is not bad and served us well for a couple of years, there is more maintenance than I would like with CISS, occasional streaking, minor leaks etc.
Now looking for a low-hassle workgroup printer with reliable, large carts that can be refilled. This seems to leave me between B310N/B-520DB in $500 range, or one of WP-xxxx series printers for about half that. I would go for WP-xxxx but see lots of complaints on internet about reliability (yellow or cyan ink leaking, depending on model). B-series is not widely used so not easy to find opinions. Anyone here with experience?
