    Brother do cheap and cheap to run B&W laser.

    Cheap colour lasers are more expensive to run than an inkjet and give poorer colour except for charts.

    Cheaper to run than Inkjet is a Kyocera Colour Laser.

    About €700 to €850. Any cheaper a colour laser is horrendously expensive to run and 1/4 to 1/5th speed of a Mono laser. Traditionally you have to spend several thousand on a colour laser to get this running cost.

    The Brother Multifunction inkjets are about cheapest inkjet to run.

    The Brother entry level Duplex Mono printer is very cheap to run and inexpensive to buy.

    If you only do the odd colour print then inkjet + B&W laser is worth considering

    some Aldi's still have the €200 HP colour laserjet
