Who has the longest running inkjet printer?

[The Hat]

over the years i've refilled the MP980's 6 ink carts for a total of 689 refills, most ink carts have only been replaced 2 or 3 times

Maybe you need to stock up on newer cartridges, because I found some of my BCI-6 carts failed in their seems and have now switched to using CLI-42’s for my i9950..

My oldest printer is a MG6200 which still continues to reject non OEM cartridges but can eventually print with some coaching but I have had to get rid of many canon printers from the days of the ip 3000 and 4000 and following on with the ip4500 up to the IP 4750 and then the IP 7250. What a pile of crap that was . All had print head failures. Still I have saved thousands of pounds refilling cartridges for these printers. Now i remain committed to Canon printers because of the TS700. This is the best standalone printer that Canon has produced, imo with no print head failures in my experience This is the IP4000 reborn. no resetters but refillable ink cartridges readilly available. Grab it while you can if you want a basisic inkjet printer capable of fantastic photo prints.
and duplex printing. Can't see Canon continuing the this printer for long. I also have a G500 for photo prints but my TS700 printers are the best I have ever owned for all round printing
