Epson Ecotank. I’ve been using mine for years and I only had to buy new ink once.

And I printed a lot of photos, notes, documents, etc

Laser printers are great for documents, but not very good for photos.

I have an ink jet printer that I like. I don't print very often (average a couple pages per week) but when I do it's a mix of documents and photos. The ink isn't cheap, but the quality seems good and for the amount I print the expense is minor.

Not to mention more water resistant, when printing things like envelopes.
