What's the cheapest to operate (per copy) 4-in-1 printer, preferrably laser printer?
I'm currently using a Samsung 4-in-1. An original cartridge costs 4K (I believe most laser printer cartridges cost the same). I use those cheap toner refills, but after a while, the printouts will develop lines and becomes grayish.
I'm thinking of those inkjet printers hooked with continuous ink, but I think the printing speed of inkjets can't match laser printers.

The "drum" in the laser toner cartridge will need to be replaced every 2 to 3 toner refills. If you don't, the prints will have lines and the prints not as dark.
I use HP Laserjet printers and always had my laser toner cartridges refilled. I also note the number of refills for that particular drum so I know if its due for replacement.

Converting a toner cartridge to a "continuous system" will not really extend it's use by much. You will still need to replace the drum, roller and blade every two to three refills. Then you have to empty the toner's waste bin as well.
Kinda messy too with the fine powder of the toner potentially getting everywhere including your lungs.
I'd rather just pay the shop to do the refill and parts replacement.
