    Well my printer is a lexmark the Z615 nothing special but does the buiss for what i need. But the prices of refills is pathetic, how can they justify prices as they are now..

    I mean the black cartridge is just one colour and it consists of plastic a metal strip and some ink yet they want XXX for them..(angry as hell)

    These companys will bleed us for every penny if allowed, and as we all know the money they have pays them a lot of favours?

    Best decision we ever made:

    B&W laser
    Color Inkjet

    The laser printer has just about paid for itself. We are still on the same cartridges that came with the color inket.

    I have a feeling that if/when the prices for Color Laser printers drops, Inkjets will have their days numbered.

    Its pathetic that sometimes its cheaper to buy a whole new printer than new cartridges.

    But, then, inkjet printers are cheaper, cause you can buy a multiple use printer for cheap!

    I'd rather have a laserjet printer, been using them all the time in the military. Alas, now that I'm a civilian, I'm looking at my scanner/copier inkjet printer, and wondering why I didn't spend the money on a laser jet.

    Well, our laser is an aio. Works great, just prints in B&W, save for scanning.
