Is there a printer that isn't a proprietary ink dispensing jail?

I'm with current knowledge and tech it should be possible to print your own printer?

Epson EcoTank, pretty hard to lock out other vendors when your supply is delivered as a liquid.

Problem is that the heads clog up quite often. I had to replace mine recently. Oh, and they spew so much ink in the cleaning cycle that the pad got soaked up in 2 years.

The service would cost 1/3 the price of a new printer so I visited some shady sites to find a one-time service mode reset code.

As soon as the ink starts spilling out I'm tossing it in the garbage and never buying another printer again.

How often do you print? I have read those things need to be run very often to keep them from clogging or breaking down.
