I would personally get a laser printer if I printed a lot. The problem is I only need to print once or twice a year. So justifying the cost of one is a bit on the miss side for me. I gave up on ink jet years ago. In the mid 90s they were pretty awesome and cheap. Now they are just cheap at first.
Once you get a laser printer though the things are usually tanks and last forever. The carts are more pricy but you get like several thousand sheets out of them before you refill. Figure you get 100 sheets out of a inkjet and the heads do not clog. You can get 10k out of a laser cart on some models.
