What printers for home-use are the most efficient at using ink cartridges? -

Our family s been through three Lexmark printers, and they ve all turned out abominable...the black ink runs out within three weeks, at best! In your experience, or from what you ve heard, what kind of printers for personal use (we can t have the bulky business printers) would you recommend based on how long the ink cartridges last without refill or getting a new one?

The canon i series has proved both practical and economical. Helps that COSTCO carries the cartridges. Good luck.

Laser printer. A black and white one will cost only $100, you can get a color HP one for $200. And the toner lasts forever.
