I've seen reviews saying that a firmware update stopped 3rd party ink/toner from working. Both myself and my mom have Brother printers that we love and have used for years. It's disappointing and they're great printers but I don't want to pay a premium on toner/ink just because. But yeah, as @cerberus_cat said, refillable ink is good too if you need an ink jet printer but I don't know why anyone would want ink over laser.

Isn't it cheaper and better for higher humidity?

Inkjet might be cheaper to buy the device but you'll pay out the ass for ink. Toner just lasts so much longer. I haven't bought toner since 2019.
