Several themes appeared throughout reader comments, including avoiding printing altogether, using laser printers, and outright avoiding inkjet printers to avoid high costs and wasted ink. Printing costs struck a chord with quite a few readers, as seen in the lengthy comments many left. Lady Fitzgerald sounds off with:
I avoid printing as much as possible, as much to save space as money. Even though the upfront cost of a laserjet printer is higher, the per page cost of one is far less than an inkjet (there is no way I’ll own another one of those ink thirsty, clog prone POSs). I have a B&W laserjet which is cheaper to use than printing at a copy center. On the rare occasions I need a color printout, I take the file to a copy center on a USB stick for printing. For the rare color photo prints, I do the same, only at Walgreens.
