Re: Paper isn't required due to the cost of ink
At only $0.99/month for my usage levels I pay for new cartridges about once every 5 years, but they would dry out long before that time was up.
I agree a color laser is better if you have higher usage, but given that according to Instant Ink I have printed 57 pages in the past year, I won't live long enough for that to make financial sense!
At this point I use the scanner function a lot more often than the printer function.
