1) There isn't really a lowest cost per page printer per se. It is all about the page yield, or the number of pages you get out of a cartridge compared to it's price. Laser printers tend to have a lower cost-per-page number versus ink jets. To find out the cost, divide the retail price by the number of pages it yields. Inkjets tend to produce about 500/cartridge and cost about $25 per cartridge, but can run you about 5 - 6 cents per page depending on what you print. If you have a lot of ink heavy pages, your yield can be a lot lower raising the cost. Laser printers tend to have a per page cost of about 3 - 4 cents, but the cartridges can run about $75 or more, but will last 2,000 pages. Toner heavy pages also tend to not affect the yield too much. When I owned a color laser and printed a lot of graphic heave stuff, the yield was only affected by about 100 pages and in some cases I even got more. Not too mention lasers tend to not move as much as inkjets so they therefore, in my opinion, tend to receive less wear. I have an HP printer myself and like it very much. Trying to find the absolute lowest cost per page printer would be a lot of work, so I wrote this instead to try to provide at least a little insight to help anyone looking to buy a printer. Also remember, you get what you pay for. Also, the cost of 4 inkjets will run you about $100 give or take sales tax, while an $80 toner cartridge which has the same yield of about four combined inkjets, will cost you about $20 - $30 less.
2) Brother laser printers have the lowest price per page. Find a printer that uses the TN-360 cartridge. You can also extend the life of a cartridge significantly by tricking the toner low sensor. Read more here:
