OK - like many people I need to get some toner for a colour printer, in my case a Lexmark C530DN

What I hadn't anticipated is that it is consistently cheaper to get a new printer than to get toner. This is madness.

• Toner for existing printer circa £370 for 3000 sheets = 12.3 pence per sheet
• Lexmark C543DN circa £135 for 2000 sheets = 6.75 pence per sheet
• Lexmark C734 circa £375 for 4000 sheets = 9.375 pence per sheet
• Lexmark C925de A3 circa 599 for 8500 sheets = 7 pence per sheet
• Toner for C925de £721 for £8500 sheets = 8.5 pence per sheet
• Black toner for C925de £117 for £8500 sheets = 1.3 pence per sheet

C925de is on its way - should last a year or two. When the toner runs out - buy another!
