I switched to Canon a couple of years ago after our two Epsons kept clogging their heads. I bough a G550 which is an A4 printer but have been hugely happy with it. It’s a 6 colour machine and the huge tanks are completely separate with external viewing windows so you can see the levels at a glancve. In over two years I’ve only had to refill one of the black tanks once - and it’s in daily use. The print heads can be removed for cleaning - the chief reason I bought it. Photo prints are excellent, cannot fault it. Highly recommend Canon printers. YMMV.
