Printers

I know with a lot of people taking online classes there is a lot of material that needs to be printed out...what is everyone using? debating on investing in a laser printer for home use due to volume but unsure what to get?

I have a HP printer, Officejet HP-8610 to be exact. It can print, fax, copy, scan and is wireless. Having a HP, I decided to purchase the HP insta-ink. It's a monthly payment, with different options. One option is to pay 4.99/month for 100 printed pages a month. I have the 9.99/month for 300 pages a month. I also think there's some other option as well. I tried the first three months for free - decided to get it. It's automatically detected whenever you run out of ink - they'll then send it (I believe). The only thing is you have to purchase your own paper, of course.

I decided to get this instead of purchasing ink for 100 bucks for every new cartridge. So far, I like it.

Sometimes I'll also print out things at work if I remember, if it's a large amount of papers and documents.

I got a Brother duplex laser printer on Amazon for around $100. Duplex is really helpful for cutting down on paper. I think I only replaced the cartridge 2-3x, was definitely worth the investment. Much better value than inkjet IMHO. A scanner can be useful too if you need to upload forms for clinical too, like consents and HIPAA and what not.
