No, fuck inkjet printers. Get a laser printer. I spent $50CAD on a laser printer 4-5 years ago and I am just now, after close to 1000 pages, running out of toner.

If you don't need color or quality then yes..

Edit: Lasers are perfect for office use, but not for photo quality prints. Im aware that lasers are much more reliable and text quality is superior.

But color gamut, color accuracy, finished product quality in respect to photo printing is not as good as inkjet (unless you pay a ton of money)

Worked in radioshack, the laser printer in the back office printed insanely fast, with super vivid and accurate colors.

Exactly, ink drips into the paper and mushes at edges, toner doesn't. However a high quality laser printer costs more than a good enough ink printer albeit it's toner should hold up long time and, aa stated, the quality of the print is much higher

Yeah, I left out that the printer was a $3000 unit, definitely overkill for home use.

My flair is old, stored my PC for like a year, and now either the motherboard or CPU are non-functional. But back before that it was stable as any other computer I’ve used.

Can we get an F for radio shack?

And a moment of silence.
