Do laser printers not extort you for money
They are way better. You can print thousands of pages on a single toner cartridge and the toner basically last forever. Unlike ink printers that dry out and clog if you don't use it within a week.
There is an extra step for laser printers. You initiate the extortion.
It's fully automated with inkjet printers
Y'all are confusing inkjets for subscription printing. Buy a tank printer or just a decent inkjet and don't take the subscription. Problem solved. Tank printers can't detect third party ink either, because it's just a liquid. Tank printers are both cheaper per page and do more pages to a refill.
I have a laser printer I got over a decade ago, and I only changed the oem toner cart in the last 6mo or so.
If that printer is extorting me for money, it's doing a shit job of it. I'm pretty sure I've spent more on paper than toner for this thing.
