> designed-to-fail Ink Waste Tank or Ink Waste Pad

Then buy one with a replaceable pad like the Epson 5150. The replacement costs....drum roll ... $10.

My last color laser had a non serviceable fuser rated for 20,000 pages and that's what I got out of it.

I replaced it with a color ecotank and it's just a better product. Look up the price of my ink vs the price of comparible color toner and there is simply no comparison. Even color toner generics, which are not perfect, are more expensive.

It's fine to have scepticism over ink printers, or any printers. But it's not all rainbows and sunshine with other options either (other than a basic black laser I guess)

There is no ink economy improvement that cannot be countered in favor of dry toner with an even lower printing frequency. Printing frequency used to be thought in pages per day, now it can be years per page and still be too high to forego having a printer. I have toner that would last decades for my old Samsung, unfortunately some element of paper transport ceased working.
