its imho cheaper than the huge investment costs of laser

B&W laser printers are as cheap as $70, for example, Brother HL-2240, and have vastly lower price-per-page... they print well on the cheapest copier paper (inkjets tend to need premium surfaced papers or they look very smudgy), the toner cartridges are /way/ cheaper than inkjet inks per page.

we have a cheap older brother all-in-one here thats printed 18600 pages(*) so far, using 1 drum and 8 toners. its had 20 total paper jams in all that. its also scanned/faxed/copied 2600 pages with 8 document feeder jams (per its status page). its an ethernet network printer, so the whole household can print to it directly.


(*) 2 high school students, plus tech-writer wife who was also running girlscout activities, red cross training, etc, took its toll on the pulp forests. thankfully both kids are away in college and my wife has wound down her volunteer activities.
