Color Laser Printer Ink Cartridges

Aren’t Inkjets Cheaper Per Page Than Laser?

I keep reading how much cheaper laser printers are per page compared to inkjets and was considering getting a color laser in order to do some work that is fairly slow on the inkjets. Much to my surprise though it seems as though laser printers ink costs quite a bit more than my inkjets. I pay $430 for a gallon of each of the 7 colors which really lasts me a very long time considering I don’t print with too much coverage usually on my Epson 9600. On the Xerox 6360 I was looking at the toner was $360 but it sounded like it only lasted 10,000 pages at something like 5% coverage. I also bought an HP Officejet K5400 inkjet which is really fast but it has tiny ink cartridges. Am I missing something because after doing my best breakdown of prices the inkjets seem significantly cheaper per page simply because the ink is so much cheaper.

I’ve got the best thing for you ever to keep down your ink costs. Your printer (the K5400) uses HP 88 cartridges, the same as my printers (HP L7590 and L7680). On both of my printers I use whats called a continuous ink system. Its a system that has external ink tanks that feed into specially made cartridges. They cost about $40 and are filled with about $500-$600 worth of ink (if you bought the equivalent cartridges retail). There are several on ebay, the best one I’ve been able to find is this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/CISS-CIS-for-HP-88-K5400-K8600-K5400DN-K5400DTN-K5400TN_W0QQitemZ260456535775QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_Toner?hash=item3ca46b56df&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I’ve been using them since January and haven’t looked back. I do a ton of color printing for my business and I don’t have to worry about ink cost *at all* anymore. The quality of the ink is the same from what I can tell (I tested a picture printed with brand inks and these inks and both pics look the exact same, even after 8 months).

They also have continuous ink systems for epsons but I think the HP 88 printers are the best for them. The reason being is that the HP 88 printer feeds ink from the cartridges to the printheads, the printheads are on the cartridges for the epsons. If you have any questions about the continuous ink systems let me know. Just shoot me an email through my yahoo answers profile.
