Side question. Is a color laser like the Phaser cheaper to own and operate than either a traditional color inkjet and/or these newer fangled color "pigment" printers (like Epson or Kodak)? I need a decent color printer of some sort, but since the ink ran out this last time around on my CRAP HP OJ8500, I decided NO MORE HP color cartridges for me! :)
