I have a color 4-in-1 fax/print/scan/copier. However, I rarely use it. It is always on to receive faxes. Combined printing and faxing is under 10 pages per week. The problem is that the ink keeps drying up from lack of use, and replacing 4 cartridges (black, yellow, blue, cyan) is expensive (even the cheap on-line deals). My total pages per cartridge set is very low since the ink dries up before I can use it all.
I am thinking of getting a multifunction laser fax/print/copier instead. Can anyone tell me if laser toner cartridges also go bad ("dry up", etc) due to lack of use? Since toner is a powder and not a liquid ink, it can't really "dry up", but perhaps other problem occur from lack of use.
(PS. I don't need color printing, so losing color doesn't bother me.)
Thanks!
