What’s draw back with HP DeskJet 1360?

What is the drawback in HP DeskJet 1360 or any other inkjet printer due to which even home users prefer laser printer instead of this when they have only to use at home level for some Black & white documents prints 2 or 3 page a week.
I have come to know that if we don't take a print for 3 or more days, ink gets dried. Is it real?
& really because of this people don’t prefer it....
If it has really this problem then what would happen if we don't take prints for more than 3
Days...will it stop printing................?
Then what’s solution if ink gets dried on header on cartridge (I think this happens here).....

Ink jets are still best for printing photos... at least in the affordable price-range...

Laser printers will give you sharper text that won't smudge and is much more waterproof. Toner is more expensive, but lasts much longer and the cost per page is usually less with laser. Printing envelopes with an ink-jet is scary...

If you want to print photos... get an ink-jet. If you want to print documents, business cards that won't run, etc... get a laser. If you have room... get both.

A good ink jet printer shouldn't have problems with clogging. I don't print that often and my Canon never clogs. Canon is making some awesome ink-jet printers and that's definitely the route I'd go if purchasing an ink-jet. I've never had any sort of trouble with mine and the photos are unbelievable. Older model though... Pixma iP6000D Not sure what's comparable now.

Facts about Refills for Ink Cartridges

Anyone who owns an inkjet printer realises sooner or later that within a year or two of regular use, the cost of ink cartridges will most likely surpass the cost of the printer itself. Printer manufacturers have steadily dropped the price on the main hardware but the printer consumables remain at a very costly level particularly for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) branded ink cartridges.

To illustrate the point, there are brand new inkjet printers in the market today that sell for as low as $90. The corresponding inkjet cartridges in comparison costs around $34 in retail – almost 40% of the price of the printer! Such incongruence in pricing structure has driven consumers to patronise aftermarket solutions such as ink cartridge refills.

However, the use of ink refilling technology in order to alleviate the cost of inkjet printing is still rather a grey area at best. It is therefore important to know the various products and services as well as the pros and cons of solutions related to inkjet cartridge refills.

Ink Refill Kits

Refilling ink cartridges is undoubtedly an outright messy task but there are individuals who insist on being “do-it-yourself” persons. Compared to OEM cartridges, ink refill kits are a mere fraction of the price of its branded counterparts. For example, an original HP 45 black ink cartridge, common amongst many HP DeskJet printer models, costs around £21. The ink refill kit for the same cartridge type is less than £6 at some retail outlets.

However, the final quality of the refilled cartridge is questionable as the self-performed refilling is subject to human error amongst other factors. There are various reports that after repeatedly using ink refills for a few months their inkjet printers began to perform poorly or broke down.

Ink Refilling Services

For those who do mind the mess associated with refilling inkjet cartridges by themselves, commercial ink refilling services are also available in certain areas. This costs slightly more than the ink refill kits but are still considerably less expensive than new OEM cartridges.

Conceivably, the process employed by ink refilling services is subject to quality control. Therefore, the refilled printer cartridge should perform more consistently than when individual users employ ink refill kits by themselves. Nevertheless, the quality of the refilled cartridge remains doubtful in comparison to the OEM inkjet products. Furthermore, an individual cartridge can be subject to the refilling process for up to a few times only. Beyond three refills, the loss of quality in output becomes obvious.

What we can take away from this discussion is that good quality comes at a premium price. As consumers shift from OEM ink cartridges to self-refill kits and ink refilling providers, immediate cost savings can no doubt be availed. Unfortunately, quality printing suffers in the long term. The use of refilled ink cartridges should be limited only to non-critical printing and should be restricted to older inkjet printer models since damage arising from the use of non-OEM products would void the warranty on any new printer.
