I hear printer ink is really expensive, but I don’t have much experience with that because we own a laser printer. Best purchase we ever made! For $200 we can print all the coupons we want (that’s mostly what we use it for) and rarely have to buy toner. In the time we’ve owned the printer, which is going on approximately ten years, we’ve purchased 3 toner cartridges (which cost $30 each). This is no exaggeration and we print stuff daily!
So unless you have a compelling reason to own a “regular” printer, I highly suggest opting for a laser printer instead. Heck, I’d recommend getting one in addition to your fancy color printer and only using the fancy one for printing photos or items that require full-color and use the laser for everything else. It will quickly pay for itself with all the savings on ink.
