Thanks for help, PRSXFENG!
Isn't drum+toner would be much expensive than normal inkjet?
Thanks for help, myway1985.
Copier meaning that no limit of printing? Just pay monthly rental? Or there is certain range?
but you can print much much much more with the 1 toner cartridge compared to ink cartridges
thousands vs hundreds
drum doesn't need to be replaced that often
and if you get the older cheaper brother models (eg, hl1110), it is so simple it has no checking, so you can throw in 3rd party toner that's like.... rm15 on laz/shopee
of course, quality may vary if you use 3rd party toner
otherwise if you want to go ink, get an ink tank printer, epson is the original, they have some black and white only models
the printer costs more, like 500++ compared to a typical cartridge printer
but that's how those earn, sell the printer cheap or even at a loss
then earn back from the crazily expensive ink cartridges
so, it is worth it to spend more on a ink tank/laser that is more expensive at first but has cheaper running costs
for my use case with ink tank, the ink lasts years instead of months (casual home use)
my brother ink tank lasted 4 to 5k pages before I had to refill once
compared to a cartridge one which prints like hundreds at most
