<prompt> Human: A printer costs 39 dollars. Printing at the library costs 10 cents a page. 39 dollars at this rate, can purchase 390 pages. Im not sure if I should a buy a printer. I mean eventually, Ill print more than 390 pages. Im just not sure if the cartridge will get that far.  <response>: Ink jets will cost you a fortune. Depends on your printing needs. If you dont print much its not worth it. Unless you want to add in the time and inconvenience of having to go somewhere to make prints. Then it could certainly be worth it. I would go with a laser over an inkjet if you print a lot. Brother makes some really reliable machines.
