If you are printing high volumes of documents and do not need color support, a laser is more economical by a long shot. There is a big market in used and refurbished HP Laserjets for this very reason - for example, a Laserjet 4 Plus can be found for $200 or so, and one $90 cartridge (and you can find recycled refilled cartridges for half that) is good for 7000 copies - at 12 pages per minute. The printer itself is good for 100,000 copies before the fuser goes bad - replace the fuser ($200) and run it for another 100,000. I have a customer that just went over a MILLION copies with one of these with no maintenance other than cartridges, fusers, and cleaning.
