I'm looking for advice from people who know printers well, because I have a rather specific use case and I'm close to giving up on it.\n\nI currently print coloring pages for my own use. I regularly print 100–300 pages in one sitting. I'm also considering eventually selling my own coloring book as a small business, potentially offering printed versions on cardstock, so I may need to handle larger print runs in the future.\n\nMy requirements:\n\nVery clean, smooth black lines – fine as well as more bold coloring-book line art must not look jagged, wobbly or pixelated\n\nBlack lines must not smear/reactivate when coloring over them with alcohol markers (Ohuhu)\n\nReliable feeding/printing on 160 gsm Navigator Office Card (potentially heavier cardstock in the future)\n\nReasonable durability/reliability for occasional larger print runs\n\nCost-efficient ink/toner, especially because I would be printing a lot of black and occasionally color, so consumable costs matter\n\nColor would be useful, but most pages are black and white; I only print a few color covers every 50–300 pages\n\nI'm looking for a cost-efficient solution within a realistic budget, rather than having a strict arbitrary price limit\n\nI've already tried:\n\nEpson EcoTank ET-2862:The print quality was perfect for my needs, and the prints worked perfectly with alcohol markers. However, I had two units develop very similar...",
