    Hi everybody.

    Looking for a printer with lower cost ink/toner.

    Please suggest.

    Regards.

    When shopping for a printer, it's a good idea to go on eBay or Amazon to search the availability of generic ink/toner before buying the printer.

    At my shop, I use a Brother all-in-one inkjet. It uses a 4-cartridge (B/C/M/Y) ink system which cuts down on color printing costs (no need to replace all three colors if just one runs out).

    The aftermarket ink (BC-61/65, BC-71/75, depending on the model) is dirt cheap. If you buy it in bulk, it runs as low as $3 per cartridge - that, and the generic ones seem to last as long and give as good of a print quality as the genuine Brother ones.

    Hope this helps. :)

    you can get Samsung B&W laser printers for as little as £45 with toner being at £55 for 1100 pages. You can get colour but that is more expensive in laser.

    Hi gman863

    You are right, but sometime I could not locate the real and correct materials as for example ebay lists many suppliers with +99% positive review with vary prices from about $20s to +$80s, for example http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=samsung+ml-1860+toner&rt=nc

    That made me unable to decide which one to buy, also not all suppliers are shipping worldwide.

    I have these printers :

    -HP laserjet P1102
    -HP Deskjet F2483
    -HP officejet 4500
    -Samsung laser printer ML-1860

    In Local market not all time supply is available.
    Refills are not enough for more than about 3 weeks.

    Only one time I was lucky bought toners for Hp p1102 from supplier (I beliee) in Hong Kong for almost half price of local price, now I can see no offer from him.

    I will check local market for brother printers.

    Thanks for help.

    Thanks for help.
