The cost per page printed is much lower with a laser printer. Inkjets are a complete PITA. If you don't use them frequently, they gum up and don't print. If you use them frequently, they cost you a fortune in ink.

Get a color laser. You will be glad you did.

Warning: the next scam you are going to run into is toners. Here is how it works...
Printer is priced fairly modestly. Runs from about $200 or so to over $1000. A decent one will run in the $300 range.

The printer will come with what they call "starter" toners. They will print a predetermined number of pages and then give you a "low toner" or "out of toner" message. Printer may even refuse to print at that point. Cost of new toners from the store is prohibitive. Replacements for mine would have cost more than I paid for the printer.

BUT..... those "starter" toners are actually full and usable toners that have been "brain damaged" usually by the removal of a small timing gear (at least in the case of the Brother printer). This gear can be obtained on line for a small fraction of the cost of a toner. Aftermarket (third party) toners are also readily available on line. Refill kits that contain the missing parts to refill and convert the "starter" toners to full toners are also readily available. It took me about 5 years to use up my set of "starter" toners.

Once you have switched over to laser, your biggest cost per page will become the paper rather than the ink.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
