Do I need to buy a laser?

[OM2]

Should I invest in a cheap laser? And then refill afterwards?

I've been asking a lot of questions about refilling inkjects
The answer: German method

Doing this way, I've calculate the costs of printing to be 0.002!
(That's a 5th of a penny!!)

What I need my printer for: for printing invoices for eBay sales + address labels
I would imaging I'd get upto 20 orders a day (not doing this at the moment - but will be soon)

Importantly, I will print on both sides of the invoice - the opposite side will be in colour definitely

Speed is an issue - but not crucial

The prints don't have to be perfect artistic quality - just good quality prints are OK

Should I just stick to inkject?

Thanks

I would stick to your inkjet. Do you have one yet?

The main advantage of a laser printer is if you have a lot of volume, either many copies (hundreds) of a single page or a document of many pages and all in black and white. Your needs are way below that, plus you need color.

ok... i'll go with that
i've got an inkjet, so will stick with that

u can pick up a laser for 45 - but then pay 49 for an ink toner that yields only 1500

I use several different A4 mono lasers they werent cheap to buy about the
same as a good inkjet, so they were pretty reasonable.

But I would never think of using refill toner in them, because I get the high yield cartridges
and they seem to last forever.

Besides when you go with a Samsung printer you get a new drum free with every cartridge.
I found in the past it was always the drum that was the most expensive part of a laser printer..
