I've had an Epson XP-820 multi for a few years now (maybe 6) - not heavily used for printing but it's been pretty good, only ever using compatible cartridges.
I did reach some count on the print count which stopped it printing and told me to get it serviced but I found a small program on the net to overcome that. I will apparently reach the limit a second time, when it becomes more intrusive (I forget how) but the same site sells a "patch" to o overcome that for about a tenner - so that's what I'll do if it's otherwise OK.
But the point about whether you really need colour is a good one.
