In this video, a Canon print cartridge is opened up and revealed not to contain the meagre 11.9 ml (0.4 fl oz) of ink it is advertised. The proposed solution is to buy a printer designed to be manually refilled with bottles of ink (such as the featured Epson EcoTank ET-2850), though it has only been tested briefly.

Well, laser is pretty expensive when you want colour. I just replaced my god forsaken hp and after weighing my options i went with a brother ink tank. A laser with same features would cost well over double that.

Another important thing is that people want more than just print, i want print,scan and copy all three.

Ink is pretty cheap a whole refill will cost me 5 usd, from a third-party ink reseller for all the colours combined.

If you want black and white only, just go laser.
