    You definitely should go Laser and not ink jet, far too expensive to run. Much more limited choices but this looks like the best value I could find for a laser all in one.

    You can look around online and find replacement cartidges at great prices like.

    Not got any recommendations but something you must look at is the TCO total cost of ownership. This will depending on the amount of pages you print per month and the cost of ALL the consumables e.g. toner,image units,fusers. These can add up if you do high volume.So before you purchase make sure you aware of the all the costs.

    From bitter experience, my advice is if you print a lot, go laser, they are much cheaper to run. If you only use occasionally, go laser as the inkjet cartidges are a bugger for blocking up from non-use!!

    If you have an extra few bob, wireless is the way to go as you can print from phones and iPads using your wifi network. Got a samsung laser wireless recently. simply brilliant.

    If you do go laser, make sure it's a commercial laser. Some of the lasers designed for domestic use will cost a fortune in toner cartridges, this is especially true of the small colour lasers.
