Questions answered
Yes - dramatically. After two years my ink tank printer has cost me about a third of what a cartridge printer would have, even with the higher upfront price.
For text-only and low monthly volume, monochrome laser is often cheaper per page. For mixed color and infrequent use, ink tank wins.
