When shopping for a printer, remember that the price you pay at the store is only the beginning. Be sure that the price of the printer includes the cost of toner or ink cartridges and other consumables that you will need to replace over time. Also, check before buying whether there is also the possibility of refilling the toner and ink tank, which will significantly lower the price of the print later. This information is especially important if you print a lot. Sometimes the price of a toner set can very easily approach the price of the laser printer itself (along with the toner that the printer comes with)
Most manufacturers list the average number of pages the printer can print before the ink cartridges run out. You can also use this number of pages to calculate your average cost per page and once you do that you will be surprised to see how much this number can vary from printer to printer.
