Washington Post: Americans waste $10 billion each year on name-brand ink. So we tested low-cost options including remanufactured cartridges, ink injection kits — and even making our own.

My advice: get a mono laser printer. Printing is handy but relatively infrequent for a lot of people these days. If that's your use case, mono laser is the way to go. Toner does not dry out or go bad.

Been on the laser printer bandwagon for almost 10 years. Bought a mono Samsung and it's been my ride or die ever since. I think I've gone through two toners in that time, maybe 3. My only regret is not getting a color one but that'll be my upgrade if this one ever dies.
