I had to say it, didn't I?

I know a guy who bought 3 such color laser printers in one go (for home use), just for the included cartridges. Out of toner? Move to the next printer...

Yeah, that's more economical, although the new printers come with starter cartridges that are often 30-40% capacity of a normal one.

My company builds commercial ink-jet printing systems. You would not believe the amount of effort that goes into keeping heads clean and running defect-free. Of course, when our customers have paid $2.5M for one of these suckers, they do have certain expectations :sigh: ...

and they wonder why we're heading for an environmental crisis. Sheesh.

Even then, purely from a cost perspective, it still makes more sense to buy a whole new printer.

You can place that blame squarely on the printer manufacturers. Still that doesn't mean the printer is headed for the scrap heap. You can still sell it (and make back a few bucks in the process), or give it away.
