On: Ask HN: Why are there no no-name inkjet printers?

[__rito__]

Color lasers are much more expensive than color Inkjets. Much more.

And many Inkjets are print+copy+scan. To get the same with laser ones, you will have to shell out 3x-4x.

Are you talking about the initial outlay only, or is that including the cost of consumables?

[__rito__ → copperx]

I am talking about the initial anount only.

I print too little for my personal needs, sometimes I print several papers going up to ~300 pages in (mostly) black and white. That too, once in 2-3 months.

So, the consumable costs are too little to make a real dent.

Doesn't the ink dry up with such low usage?

[__rito__ → copperx]

I take one color print or photocopy of something displaying all the colors- once a week (or more frequently).
