Expensive outlay but the toner should last for a long time. And expensive to replace. Some people do tha math and say laser is cheaper.jabroni1m said:Well what about going lazer?
I agree 100%. If you want to do black & white only, I would recommend laser over inkjet. My experience is that laser cartidges cost more, but are more cost-effective in the long run because they last a lot longer than inkjet cartridges. I have a Brother HL1240 laser, which cost about $300 and is super fast. I recommend the Brother printers. My neighbor just got a Brother HL1440 from Office Depot (B&W, 14ppm). After rebates and a sales price, he is getting it for ~$220, which is a smoking deal. The carts are supposed to last for 2000 pages (I think).josephtischer said:...Your best bet is to aim for hte most reliable printer you can buy for your money...
There are 2 classes of laser cartridges for my Brother laser. I usually get the cheaper one, which is $50 without rebates and other nice deals from Office Depot. With rebates and such, the cost ends up around $30 or so. I typically use my laser 2-3 times a week for small jobs, and occasionally for larger ones. In the 2 years that I've had my printer, I have only had to replace the cartidge once. It's really cost effective.trdsw20 said:As you may already know HP catridges cost a pretty buck...
