Black and white? Color? Printing documents or photos? How much and how often are you printing?

I bought a B&W brother laser printer in 2015 and loved it. I had a cheap $80 inkjet and while it worked fine I printed so rarely that my ink cartridge would dry out.

The original brother toner cartridge lasted me 4 years so I'm happy just because of that.

I ended up giving that to my parents and got a brother color laser printer. It's nice for documents but inkjets are superior for photo printing.

But for the last 10-15 years I can upload photos to the Walgreens a mile away and get them in less than an hour on real photo paper and don't have to worry about them fading like a lot of inkjets.
