Pro tip: many businesses are getting rid of their old laserjet printers.

You can pick up one for cheap or free and there are cheap 3rd party laser cartridges that will last a normal households for years.

Business laser printers emit more particulates than consumer models into the air that aren't good for your health. Even their website displays that warning.

So keep it in a dry garage, just away from living spaces.

Is there a good place to find these business liquidations? I'd love a color laser, but everywhere I look, they are still hundreds of dollars.

(Not in the Bay Area though, maybe that's why? I'm in Central Oregon, semi-rural with not a lot of tech.)

Color laser is harder to find though, and they can be bulky.
