Re: Ink?
It is much easier to buy an inkjet than a laser, they are usually smaller as well.
Also (I don't know about the laser printers people have commented on) but the colour printer/scanner/copier function is what most people want.
They are cheap to buy (we all know why) and so are the default option. Laser is considered business and for a colour laser printer, hugely more expensive, particularly if you want the scanner/copier.
To be honest I think we use the scanner and copier more than the printer now.
