The problem is, Epson quality still outshines any other brand there is with thermal heads. Especially when it comes to other-than-water based inks. Also, making more passes does not mean slowing down the print process necessarily, there is two-pass printing for example.
The main problem with Epson inkjet printers is due to the fact that head is built into the printer itself, rather than coming as a part of cartridge. The print head tends to get clogged whether you use it daily or weekly. It also depends on the weather conditions where it is being used. Hot weather will certainly cause the ink to dry faster. And that's where this becomes costly. Unclogging the head is a mess and even if you do succeed, it will clog again soon after. And soon you will end up buying a new head which obviously costs more than the printer itself. Unlike thermal print heads which comes as part of cartridge, with any clogging problem, you can simply buy a new cartridge and issue solved.
@@dalevincent2875 I rephrase: Why HP MFPs Have Low Reliability. Situation: I had a multifunction printer Deskjet Ink Advantage HP3525, bought for 100 euros. After 5...6 months of operation, the print head failed. Error: The printhead for this product has failed. I don't think I printed more than 200 A4 pages. I took it in for service, they told me that a new printhead is more expensive than a new printer. I was looking for a new printer and by chance I found an offer for the same printer in a clearance sale, and I bought an identical printer for 50 euros. Shortly after, and without me using the scan much, the scanner broke down. I replaced the faulty scan assembly with the one recovered from the first printer, and it worked fine for about 2 years, when the printhead failed again. I've now bought a Canon printer, I'll see how that lasts too.

So can you use latex ink on inkjet printer.
No. It will jam up the heater and nozzle.
Why HP printers are low fiability ?
That made no sense. What are you trying to say?

Simple, because it has thermal print nozzles which heat and fail early.
