That's some very good advice Jim

But yes colour laser prices have dropped a lot, the high volume printers are still expensive though.
The main change is that toner prices have sorred, it where most printer companies make their money now, on the consumerables that and if the printer breaks down it's normally cheaper to buy a new one than to get it repaired (although that will also mean buying new toners, so don't excessively stockpile toners, I'd say keep one spare set and buy replacements every time you use a spare)
