My laser printers print for about $0.02 per page, including paper. What
does the cheapest inkjet cost per page? And what does it cost per page if
the ink dries up before you use it? Toner will still be just fine in 10 or
20 years if you haven't used it yet, whether in or out of the printer.
If you want to save money on printing, get a laser printer.
When one has literally no money to spend, one must make do with what is
available. I hear what everybody is saying about laser printers, but that is
not an option.
There are refillable cartridges, and refill bottles. I doubt that they can dry
up. My old HP cartridges dried up because they sat in a storage space for a
couple years. These won't dry up (at least, not so fast), because I will use
them now.
I'm only asking if anybody else has tried these refillables. I don't want
advice that I *ought* to buy a laser printer, when I cannot do so.
