True, but aren't colour laser printers still probilitively expensive?
And what's the other option? Dot-matrix? Do people even make them for
consumers anymore?

I off-set the cost by refilling the cartridges myself. Everyone knows
ink-jet printer companies sell the printers at a loss to recoup of the
hideously overpriced and underfilled cartridges they sell.

Everything is a scam really. The human race gets by on exploitation.
It's depressing, but I can't see anything changing.
