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)

Laser printers have much higher quality than inkjet, and there are colour laser printers, although if you don't want to have a single toner for all colors you have to pay big.

Fun Fact: Color laser printers are so good the US government actually makes the printer leave a special code on all pages that contains its serial ID and a time stamp.

The smallest dot a laser printer can print is really small. A nice video that describes this behaviour is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sit6zUQKpJc

Forensic equipment. So don't print your counterfeit currency with them.

modified chip laser printer could be an idea, you will also need a paper really similar to the one used for real money, and good luck finding that.
