One good thing about the HP splatjets is that they are designed so they don't clog after long periods of inactivity.
They may not clog, but they do dry out after a while. I have a HP fax machine that uses a black inkjet cartridge and while I don't receive very many faxes I find that I have to replace my cartridge once in a while because it dries out and stops working. It still reads 50-75% full, but it doesn't print.
In hindsight I should probably have sprung for a laser fax machine but it would have cost about twice as much as I paid for this inkjet. But toner doesn't dry out so I would have been ahead by now, I think....
my $200 brother laser MFC gets 2-3 cases of copier paper out of a $50 toner cartridge. the paper is about $25/case (2000 sheets) so that brings it to about $100 per 4000 pages, or about $0.025/page. every 10000 pages or so I need to replace the drum, thats like $60 more, I think, so that brings it to $0.031/page total.
