Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So tired of inkjet printers for home usage - without even using it, the ink disappears😣 Always empty when I need it😡 and hence, each print becomes extremely expensive.
Will this happen also with HP Smart Tank printers? Obviously, it will take longer time, but drainage also here?

The ink is not draining. It's drying if you don't use a printer regularly, and yes it will dry on the ink tank too.

Thanks, that's what I thought. (yes, drying, not draining - my lack of language skills)
Then I'll buy me a black&white laser.
