Hi,

I want to purchase a printer that has the highest cost to production ratio. I am planning on printing many many pages of plain black text (I have no use for colour). A Laserjet has been recommended but as to what I have no clue. I'm looking for a printer somewhere in the region of £100 pounds sterling ($200) and would hopefully be able to print 500 pages for around £5 worth of ink. Is this even viable? If so what printers would you recommend? Bear in mind that the economics of the situation is very important.

The HP Laserjet 10xx series are ace and will achieve that. Some are round £50 but have a lite cartridge, but for about £90-100 you can get one with a full cartridge that will print ~4000 pages for round £30-40 per cartridge. (2000 at 5% coverage, but I reckon it is a lot more in normal use.)
