Anyone have a good article concerning inkjets and laser printers....

I'd like to find out how much cheaper it would be to buy a 300.00 b/w laser printer and refill the toner ~monthly, than to buy an inkjet and buy the cartridges ~weekly.


Thanks

I don't have any articles but it sounds like you know the basic principle behind operating costs. It's all going to depend on how much you print, but if you're going to be printing a fair amount of b/w documents the laser will easily come out ahead in the long run.

Usually reviews have cost per page listed. If you are printing 500 or more pages per week then I bet the laser would be the way to go. You can always refill the black cartidges and cut the cost about 80% on cartidge prices. I like the inkjets but that is for me and it is for home use.
