i use an hp at home, and have the ink cartridges refilled. since i don't use the printer that often at home, i was concerned that hte ink might dry up and clog the print head, hence the decision to stick with hp.

i use a mp-190 canon printer at the office cause i use it more frequently minimizing the chance that the ink would dry up and clog the print head.

should the printhead clog up with the hp, just change the ink cartridge, but with the canon, go buy a new printer.

if your just printing documents, why not just use refilled inks?
