However, colour prints are not of the qual= ity=20 of an inkjet. The problem I've had with inkjet is that the ink dries out=20 unless used daily, the print heads clog up and as others have mentioned=20 replacing them costs more than the printer. With laserjet the cartidges la= st=20 much longer and do not suffer from all the inkjet problems. The whole inkjet business model relies on frequent replacement of OEM appro= ved=20 ink cartridges. Dending on the make/model the calibration cycle (every tim= e=20 you power on the printer) wastes up to 75% of the ink in it. There are=20 cheaper ink cartridge replacements, but they do not always perform as well.= =20 You can also buy ink in a bottle and refill the cartridges, but the spray h= ead=20 wears out and the quality of the print soon deteriorates. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart4706207.a9iaJN9VsB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
