Are ink-tank (supertank) printers cheaper than cartridge printers?

For anyone printing regularly, the consensus across the reviewers we read is yes. High-trust testing of the Canon MAXIFY GX2020 and Epson EcoTank ET-2800 repeatedly highlights extraordinarily low per-page costs because you refill bottles instead of buying cartridges. The trade-off is a higher upfront price, so light or occasional printers may not recoup the difference.
