Can Buying an Expensive Printer Save You More Money in Ink or Toner?
Purchasing the printer you want, especially one that fits in your budget, should be simple right? Unfortunately it isn’t. Buying an inkjet printer or a laser printer has more to do with doing your homework on how much it’s going to cost you to run the printer – in terms of buying ink or toner for the printer. You’ll soon find that cartridges can quickly cost a lot more than the printer you bought and if you’re looking for a economical printer you’ll have to consider how much your printer ink or toner costs depending on how much printing you’re planning on doing. Here are a few factors to consider right off the bat as published in an article titled Ink-onomics: Can You Save Money By Spending More on Your Printer? by PCWorld: The cheaper the printer, the more expensive its inks.

A good example is the comparison between a [...]
