Re: Ink vs. Laser - professional advise is needed

Hi guys,
Thank you for all your comments.

Considering the amount of printing I do (~100-200 mostly BW text A4
pages per year) I guess an inkjet printer of a reasonable quality
will cost half of an entry level BW laser's price.

Richard, thank you for pointing out that HP inkjets have the printing
head embedded in the cartridges. I believe a simlpe replacement of the
cartridge should solve all clugging problems in HPs, so I'll start
shopping for an HP :).

Best
Alex
