    Is there a place to check and compare printers in respect to this?

    I’m currently looking for a printer replacement and don’t want to lock myself to printers like these. I know to stay away from HP as it looks like they are the biggest offender. I know that brother generally was good, but I’m not sure if that still holds true.

      I have a Epson Eco tank printer that you just fill the tanks. There is no way for them to prevent you from using any ink you want.

        Yeah those CISS style ones are awesome, really glad Epson embraced it after years of customers using 3rd party CISS.

        If I were to get an inkjet again (I have a bw brother laser MFC), it’d definitely be a ciss.
