Color inkjet printers have been fixtures in most small businesses for many years. They're cheap (under $60 in some cases), last a couple of years and everybody uses them. So they must be the perfect office tools, right? Maybe not.

When you do the math on printing, inkjets may well cost you a whole lot more than you realize. In comparison to ink jets, laser printers are quieter, faster and remarkably hassle free.To bring the costs of laser printing down further, you can purchase inexpensive replacement or remanufactured ink cartridges.
Replacement cartridges, too, are catching on for ink jets and are widely available. But the success rate is sporadic to say the least. According to Recharger Magazine you simply cannot refill every inkjet cartridge. The actual numbers are more like 20 percent of black inkjet cartridges and 50 percent of colors can't be refilled or reused.

On the other hand, almost 99 percent of laser toner cartridges can be remanufactured to provide a product that meets or exceeds the OEM yield and quality.

I saw some great reviews on the Samsung, but some complained about the price of the toner. The Canon which we have in the office works well also you can  Copy and print with just 1 machine — great choice for small offices!
# Plenty of copy features — 99-page multicopy, collate, reduce/enlarge and more!
10,000-sheet monthly volume keeps up with your home or small office workload.

Anything in the Canon Pixma family is ink efficient.  The Canon Pixma ip4200 is a good choice.
