No worries, seacue. One of the main issues with inkjet printers has always been the cost of consumables and the instability of the resulting print. If a raindrop gets onto something printed by a bubblejet, it will make the ink run and smear. With my own bubblejet, the print heads need to be replaced every 10 cartridges ... that's according to specs but the reality is that they have needed to be replaced every seven or eight reloads. When I work out what I have spent on ink and heads over the last eight years, it's a considerable amount and the laser printers appear, on the research, to actually be a cheaper option.

All the printers I've looked at so far are CMYK, four cartridge critters.
