Hang on a sec, I was talking about a *LASER*! £350 for the printer, |
| 7 |
£400+ for a set of cartridges. |

And my last two lasers were "free with 3 sets of toners" so again the |
| 10 |
toners cost more than the printer :-) |

Okay compatible cartridges are a lot cheaper (I could get a complete set |
| 13 |
for about £100), but I suspect my next set of cartridges at least will |
| 14 |
be genuine HP. Provided I use only HP my printer is warrantied for three |
| 15 |
years, and I suspect that by the time I've used that first set of |
| 16 |
replacement cartridges, the three years will be up :-) |

(Still, I can't complain, the first laserjet I bought (for a company) |
| 19 |
cost £3000.) I think if you buy genuine manufacturer cartridges, it's |
| 20 |
typical for laser toners to cost similar (or more) than the printer, but |
| 21 |
you do get a lot more pages to a set of toners, than a set of inks. |
