    You might want to look at laser printers. If you’re just doing black and white documents, whatever the latest Brother printer is will do a good job, do it fast, and not screech at you about your cyan running out.

    It’s a few hundred bucks up front, but the toner cartridges print a ton of pages and don’t dry out if you don’t use them. I can’t recommend it enough if you have even a passing desire to make hard copies of documents.

      This. I have a brother color laser printer I bought years ago. Literally before COVID happened, so I’ve had it about 6 years. I replaced the black stock toner, haven’t replaced any others yet. Thing still prints like a champ even though it’ll randomly forget Wi-Fi settings… Lol

        I bought an HP* color laser before Covid too. It’s starting to bitch about cyan, but holy hell I abused the shit out of it during my studies and it’s still good as new.

        *I know, but their enterprise grade stuff is actually decent.

          The only downside is up replaces the entire toner and drum cartridge. I prefer brother since they’re separate. Drum is now expensive, but I doubt I’ll ever use it enough to need a new drum lol.
