What color laser printer is easily & cheaply refilled at homefrom non OEM toner?

Why is finding a decent printer to print photos at home at a decent price such a miserable process? Around here it costs 9-15¢ to have a 4x6 photo printed on a Noritsu commercial photo printer. If I send it to Walgreen's or CVS then usually by the time I walk there, in ten minutes, the photo is ready. For large prints Costco is the best deal. By the time you buy photo paper and ink or toner it would be unlikely for it to cost less to do it yourself, and of course the results would not be nearly as good. So I think the reason why it's so hard is that a decent photo printer isn't cheap to manufacture or maintain and the wide availability of photo printing service have eliminated the demand. |

I think there quality is usually very good = excellent, provided I use the ICC profile for the machine I am using. I also did a cost analysis and it is slightly less expensive to do my own printing, provided I don't factor in the mistakes. Once I factor those in, Costco is much less expensive. -- Peter |
