I bought a color brother laser printer 3…almost 4 years ago. It still has the toner that came with it. We use it probably 1-3 times a week. Still going strong. Still plenty of toner left.
That's the best part about toner- it's already dry. I would suggest taking out the toners once every few months to give em a good shaking. And maybe a self clean/calibration once every 6mo-1yr if printing low volumes. Though, it'll probably be fine if ya never do that either. Unless someone is doing photo prints often, ink printers are actually a scam. And the consumer drivers, especially HPs is becoming problematic.
HP's new printer scam sales tactic! If you don't buy ink right now we send a team of armed Pinkerton agents to your house. Extra PTSD for the whole family if you happen to have leaked cards from a board game.
Hey man, fuck you octopus guys and your eight puny arms. Squid are where it's at. We've got a mighty ten. Also, we're bigger. A lot bigger. We can kick your puny octopus ass. Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, baby!
