Let\u2019s face it \u2013 owning a printer isn\u2019t cheap. Aside from the initial payment of the printer itself, you\u2019ll have to pay for the consumables you use throughout the printer\u2019s life. To get an accurate view of how much a printer will really cost you, then, you\u2019ll have to look at three important qualities: the durability of the printer, the cost per page and the price of consumables.<\/p>\n

How much you print is also an important determining factor. Kodak says its research suggest that the average home user prints 800 pages of black text, 550 pages of color graphics, and 150 photos per year. If your personal printing practices bring you near or above these numbers, you may want to consider one of the printers on our list.<\/p>\n

  1. Pantum P2050<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You may or may not know about Pantum \u2013 a monochrome laser printer that offers fast print speeds and incredibly low-priced consumables. High-yield cartridges for this printer deliver a solid yield of 2,300 pages; at $80 to $90 for the cartridge, this makes the cost per page about 20% lower than other printers of the same class.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t worry about this printer quitting on you. The internal parts are made with steel instead of plastic, making the printer less vulnerable to high temperatures and resistant to the wear and tear of consistent usage. Additionally, this printer boasts a robust print engine that can support a monthly duty cycle of 20,000 pages.<\/p>\n

    The Pantum P2050 is eco-friendly as well. It consumes minimal power when in standby and sleep modes and has low ozone emissions thanks to the use of pre-charged rollers instead of fusers.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Brother HL-3170CDW<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This printer may be more expensive than the Pantum P2050, but it does offer the benefit of color printing \u2013 something that the Pantum printer sorely lacks. This printer offers significant savings over other laser printers in its class while still offering many attractive features.<\/p>\n
