Monochrome laser printer for Home use - fed up with inkjet costs
Hi folks
I've had it up to the eyeballs with "Cheap" inkjet type printers .
The ink prices -- even on 3rd party offerings are rediculous -- two lots of cheap replacements still cost more than the wretched printer does in the first place and these cartridges don't last long at all.
I'm looking now at Laser printers -- I know basically more expensive but the cost of "consumables" is so much cheaper in the long term that this might be a "Good option" -- I know with a lot more people working at home / remotely there's more printing to be done.
Any recommendations --I don't need any colour -- monochrome ( B&W for those who are unfamilar with term monochrome) would be just fine --and it doesn't have to be 30 ppm a minute or so --speed irrelevelant as I'm not in a commercial office -- most important thing for me is how much use would I get out of a single toner cartridge.
(I remember years and years ago Kodak used to give away free cameras because they got their money back in selling film and processing -- it's probably the same with ink jet printers --amazing how quickly cheap models are replaced by new ones while the ink per litre is far more expensive than platinum !!!!!).
Cheers
