A better option for standard document printing is to get a low cost personal laser printer like the Bother HL-2040 . That's an Amazon link, Staples also will put it on sale for a similar price. The laser toner cartridges are refillable and there are shops that specialize in selling recycled toner cartridges. The expensive bit in a laser printer is the drum, but that lasts a while. Laser printers are less expensive per page than ink squirting printers. And the print is sharper and won't bleed if the paper gets wet. source
