At my level of use, these things tend to last so long that they are functionally obsolete before they physically break down. The way I look at it, owning two separate printers is a bit like owning two similar cars and putting 5,000 miles per year on each of them instead of just putting 10,000 miles on one car.
I can appreciate that.
I would wonder however, how long since you last bought a color printer? If it was a while ago, they (like everything else computer) have drastically come down in price; and, in many cases these days, the lower end printers are the “all in one” things. To me, this means that the $279 all in one deal is $120 worth of printer and $100 worth of copier and $50 worth of scanner. So, these things are lightweight. NONE of them are life-rated for “what if I only use it every 5 weeks” and I don’t know how you could ever find that out. Some printers do not act well if you don’t use them “some” regularly and the rubber parts grow non-compliant; especially if maybe you have them in an office that gets hold and cold. Inks congeal, nozzles clog. That kind of thing.
I’m just issuing a thought for your consideration.
