A laser printer always just works.

My 1996 laser just got replaced 6 months ago. I replaced the toner once or twice... Because I'm a low volume printer.

Low volume is probably also just B/W. But even a color laser isn't that much. Canon has a line of office color that aren't awfully expensive, and not large.

Why would I pay for a lease that over it's contract term is as much as a Canon color laser that will:

  1. Run longer on it's starter toners

  2. Never clog

  3. Probably run for 10 years or more
