Absolutely right Ken, I bought my Okidata c5150n Colour Laser-jet about 10 years ago for about $700.00 and the Toner Carts *new* from media Sciences cost me about $135.00 for a set of 4 CMYK and last me about 2 years. Not quite photo quality but very good for my purpose, This is really an office quality machine and churns out copy no end, Only had a couple or three paper jams in all that time. Best printer purchase I have ever made. Mine is a much less expensive color laser Samsung, not an Okidata, but like you, I greatly prefer laser printers to inkjets. Yes, they cost more up front, but with a little time, they become the cheaper alternative. And with a laser printer, you don't have to worry about the ink drying out and clogging the inkjets. Personally, I stay away from, and recommend against, inkjets. And while I'm on the subject, for most people (unless you have a severe desk space restriction) I also recommend against printer/scanner combinations. When one of the two fails, I don't want to have to replace both. --- Internet Rex 2.31 * Origin: The gateway at Omicron Theta/2 (1:261/20.119) |
