I would like to agree with all of this. Inkjet printers might be cheap in the beginning, but laser printers are lower cost over their lifetime, especially if you print infrequently. Toner doesn’t dry out.
Someone I know has been using an HP laserjet with the same toner cartridge since 2005. They print infrequently, like 2 or 3 pages a week, not much coverage, but that printer is a workhorse.
I had a Brother laser that worked like a charm for two years then quit. The replacement quit almost immediately. I replaced that with a xerox color laser. For me, it’s been absolutely worth it, even though the cost of a full set of toner is about what the unit costs. I don’t know anyone, except other graphic designers, who print as much as I do.
