I bought a Brother color laser printer in 2020 after deciding I was fed up with buying ink cartridges. The Staples guy was annoyed I wasn't buying toner cartridges also. He said "These starter cartridges don't have much toner. You'll need a new one before you know it!". I told him I'd take my chances and come back if needed. Three years later, I print regularly and haven't replaced anything at all yet. I would have bought a number of ink cartridges over the last few years. Great investment as far as I'm concerned.
