I want to buy a printer
I have a fairly good amount of prints to be taken every month
so thought of going for a laser printer
the model i had in mind was "m1136" = $175
but when i went to the shop
the dealer showed me "office jet 3610" = $133

It certainly has better features
better speed
both side printing
Ethernet connection
web connection

but it claims to be cheaper than the laser printers in terms of printing cost

a inkjet being cheaper than laserjet

from all i know lasers are supposed to be cheaper

I really need help here guys its really urgent for me

Thanks a lot
 
Solution
The Officejet 3610 is a thermal printer, not an inkjet.

HP claims "Count on an affordable running cost—comparable to toner refills[3]—and get up to 1,600 pages per cartridge.[5]"

Comparable, not 'cheaper'.
And it's only black & white.
