Agreed. Cost per page is way lower if you compare genuine consumables. It's around $.002 for ink tanks and easily $.02+ with most color laser printers these days until you get into around the $600 range. Even with knock off toner ink tank printers are more affordable. Just be sure to print to them regularly so they don't clog up.
That last bit is the issue. We go through phases of needing to print. Unfortunately, our previous inkjet ended up needing new cartridges at an annoying rate. If we left it off, it clogged. If we left it on, it used up a lot of the ink clearing itself.
