Lexmark Takes Hit In Printer Ink Price War

Good to see the Xerox lower ink cartrige prices having some effect. Too bad HP doesn't seem to grasp the real problem. Ink cartridges that cost $30 and dry up before 30% empty are the problem. I for one will not buy another ink jet printer. The printing costs are way too high when you may only print out 2-3 pages per week. The color is nice but it seems to dry up faster than the black ink. I am tired of paying these prices for ink jet cartridges and not getting my money's worth. Next printer will be a laser printer, by my calculations, a toner cartridge will last 3-5 years. My only worry is to make sure I have a spare toner cartridge because my model will be obsolete by time I need to replace it. I also will only need to power up the printer when I need it.
