Yup to all of that. However,
Which? are just now doing an investigation on the economics of seldom-used inkjets. They make the valid point that "Manufacturers state how many pages can be printed assuming that printing is almost continuous. [This] doesn't factor-in ink used to clean the print head after your printer has been left unused" They talk about a factor of up to six times more ink used if we use our inkjet as Mixture (and I) use it. Arguably this doesn't matter since I print so few items on the inkjet, but there it is.
