I just purchased a new inexpensive HP Laser printer (under $100). About two years ago my old Laser printer died and I had a Canon Color InkJet so never replaced the Laser printer. I have been spending a lot of money on InkJet cartridges lately so thought I would look into getting a Laser printer again (for my black & white printing). I remember reading that Laser toner was about half the price of Ink so I Googled the phrase “compare inkjet laser costs”. After reading a few stories/reviews I realized that purchasing a Laser was a very good idea.

InkJet’s cost two to three times as much as Laser printers on a per page cost comparison. One story even said on rare cases InkJets can cost up to 8 times more. I know you can buy non-brand name Inkjet cartridges and save that way but you can do the same for Lasers as well.

So far I have been very happy with my Laser. It is much faster than my InkJet and the pages don’t smudge like they did with my InkJet (much much better for mailing labels). If you do a lot of Black and White printing in your Direct Sales business I would recommend you look into getting an inexpensive Laser.

One last thing, I just wrote a little program for printing addresses directly on #10 mailing envelopes. Now I can pick a name out of Customer/Contacts list and print it directly on a envelope (along with my return address). No labels needed. Think I will look into adding this code into MBA.
