Angular: can we remove all the constructor-based injection?

Recently, Angular put in place a migration to replace constructor-based injection with inject function:
https://angular.dev/reference/migrations/inject-function

In most of the cases, it is straightforward and it clearly has benefits:

// before
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class SomeSearchService {
constructor(
@Inject(SEARCH_DUE_TIME)
private readonly dueTime: number,
private readonly repositoryService: SomeRepositoryService
) {}

// after
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class SomeSearchService {
private readonly dueTime = inject(SEARCH_DUE_TIME);
private readonly repositoryService= inject(SomeRepositoryService);


However, can inject function cover all the constructor-based injection usages?
In particular with useFactory?

To illustrate, I have:

// print.service.ts
@Injectable()
export class PrintService implements IPrintService {
constructor(
@Inject(DATA_SERVICE)
private readonly dataService: IDataService,
private readonly logger: LoggingService,
...
) {}

// tokens.ts
export const DATA_SERVICE = new InjectionToken<IDataService>('DATA_SERVICE');
export const FOO_PRINT_SERVICE = new InjectionToken<IPrintService>('FOO_PRINT_SERVICE');
export const BAR_PRINT_SERVICE = new InjectionToken<IPrintService>('BAR_PRINT_SERVICE');

// app.config.ts
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [
{
provide: FOO_PRINT_SERVICE,
useFactory: (dataService: IDataService, logger: LoggingService) => new PrintService(dataService, logger),
deps: [FOO_DATA_SERVICE, LoggingService],
},
{
provide: BAR_PRINT_SERVICE ,
useFactory: (dataService: IDataService, logger: LoggingService) => new PrintService(dataService, logger),
deps: [BAR_DATA_SERVICE, LoggingService],
},
...,
],
};


Is there a way to use inject & useFactory together
so that I can remove the constructor declaration in my PrintService?
