True for inkjets but I thought we were talking about lasers. My printer

10% of that. Inkjets are (no offence) a mug's game and work on the
Gillette principle of cheap razors with expensive blades. If you really
need colour then too bad, but the number of times I actually do need
colour printing are surprisingly few and there's always the local print
shop. In those 3 years I haven't used it once.

Inkjet cartridge refills are fairly cheap here unless you want to get new name brand cartridges.  What brand of laser printer do you have?  I can get b/w laser printers around $100 CAD, but toner replacements are also around that amount.
