The problem I've had with inkjet is that the ink dries out unless used daily, the print heads clog up and as others have mentioned replacing them costs more than the printer.
Hang on a sec, I was talking about a *LASER*! £350 for the printer, £400+ for a set of cartridges.
And my last two lasers were "free with 3 sets of toners" so again the toners cost more than the printer :-)
Okay compatible cartridges are a lot cheaper (I could get a complete set for about £100), but I suspect my next set of cartridges at least will be genuine HP. Provided I use only HP my printer is warrantied for three years, and I suspect that by the time I've used that first set of replacement cartridges, the three years will be up :-)
(Still, I can't complain, the first laserjet I bought (for a company) cost £3000.) I think if you buy genuine manufacturer cartridges, it's typical for laser toners to cost similar (or more) than the printer, but you do get a lot more pages to a set of toners, than a set of inks.
