When the ink runs out, they just replace the unit. The cost is about the same. I could replace probably four cheap ink-jet units for what it is gong to cost me just to replace the cartridges in my Brother Laser Color unit. Then when you factor in the other parts that eventually will need replacement, it really gets expensive. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
