While you are absolutely correct, but you have to also look at the cost
of the cartridges. While the laser toners are relatively expensive, they
tend to print about 10,000 pages (depending on brand et. al). The yield
on ink jet cartridges varies widely, but it is generally hundreds of
pages. Generally you can get good third party toners for roughly 1/3 of
what an HP toner costs, but I've had one bad toner in a ColorLaserjet
4700 so at work we buy HP only, but at home I have an HP4500N, and third
party toners work very well.
