[quote elmo3]Why are you all balking at how much the supplies cost? Have you done the math on these supplies, compared to an inkjet?
It's not just the cost of the supplies elmo. Lasers have a large negative impact on the environment both in energy costs and disposal of consumables (used toner and toner drums). That's why I said it would be worthwhile to use this printer for a year. At that point it can be sold to someone else for a similar price and they can pay for the consumables at that point, making it a good deal for them for the next year.
