Agreed,
I avoid , INK multi-functional, INK faxes, INK copiers and most INK printers.
Toner is the way to go, even if the machine costs more up front you will save money.
I would never buy most INK machines no matter how cheap is was, even if they gave it to me. These companies are making their money on the ink, and you are right, in the end toner beats ink cost wise.
In my opinion, anyone using black ink for everyday printing is wasting their money.
However, there are circumstances that ink is necessary (photo printers, and printing on speciality papers) ink is superior..
I spend close to 2,000+ dollars for ink per year for my office printer (photos printed in draft, not on glossy paper). I print thousands and thousands of documents per year on the laser, and only change the toner 2 times per year (160 dollars).
Sorry for the rant, I really get irritated when I see super cheap ink printers sold to get the people hooked into buying (liquid gold) ink.
Now if you really want to get me going, lets talk about the chips that are put into ink cartridges to turn off the ink when the cartridge gets low. Its so the ink doesn’t run out, dry out and plug the print heads...........What a crock.
