Laser Printer v Multi Function

I want to buy a printer. The RX425 from epson until Ii read online reviews regarding ink usage. 3/4 of ink used in head cleaning operation.

I was thinking a laser printer could be a better option with a separate scanner. Probably not too bothered about the colour option and whereas I dont do too much printing, I dont want to be paying out for new cartridges when they dry up due to non usage. Any suggestions please?

Go for laser better cost per copy overall.

also multi-function unit doubles the risk of breakdown.

If you don't do much printing the cost of laser printer probbaly does not make sense. I hate buying those inkjet cartridge too, but if it's only once a year...

hi folks

the last post is right it's all down to volume, roughly less than 10 pages a day is fine for ink jet, laser is next step tehn there is the service contract machine, this means you pay a set cost per page and get all consumables for a simple cost per page, Xerox have a model where the cost per colour page is 15 cent adn black is 1.3 cent, this simly means regardless of the coverage on the page you pay a simple cost

I have decided to go for a mono laser. Any recommendations please ?

What shop sells OKI ? Have tried PCWorld & Harvey Norman.
