After about one toner cartridge refill, you will have saved money with the laser print, if you total the cost of printer plus toner cartridge vs. printer plus several expensive ink cartridges that provide considerably fewer copies per cartridge. Plus, you don't have to worry about the ink cartridge drying out or getting clogged up.
