The printers are $400 to $500. . . not the $99 junk that fails quickly.
$400-500, that is what I call a “killing.”
I have an Epson RX5959 that I bought new many years ago. It’s an ink drinker but it still goes on strong. When it goes I will go color laser.
I have a Brother B/W laser that works well.
I also make it a point to print as little as possible. Printers are things I absolutely despise.
