Laserjet printer

Options
Hello

I have an inkjet printer and am getting fed up of frequently replacing expensive little cartridges.

I've just done a bit of research and it looks like I should invest in a Laserjet Printer as it is apparently much cheaper to run. I have a small business and I do regularly print about 300-400 pages per month. My little injet cartridges end up costing me about £30 per month.

Can anyone recommend a decent laserjet - which has those 'big - about 10 inch' cartridges?

Many thanks

    I have used the Canon i-sensys range for years and get the toner (ink / that big 10 inch thing) refilled from Cartridge World at half the price of the shops.

    Thanks - looking for recommendations of type of machine and which cartridges they use.

    On Amazon - I've seen original cartridges for HP for about 40 to 50 pounds (6500 pages) - but then I've seen the 'alternative cartridges' which still print the same amount and they are about 10.

    If I got my ink bill down to 10 for 6 months - the outlay costs will be well worth it.

    I work in a large school and would say alternative cartridges are a bad idea. It voids allot of warranties and tend to break the printer, always go with originals
