thats about the same price as it would be to buy a ink cartrige or 2 and print it at home

for 1200 or so pages, 50 bux souns about right.. you wont get much lower than that

the cartridges for my printer are like $60 a pop... but also add paper costs onto that... so the $53 really isn't to bad

I do mass print jobs at school...when I was at sheridan we'd print off 1000's of pages after class of whatever we needed...u can pretty much walk into any classroom at any school and start printing and nobody would even really ask what ur doin...well sheridan atleast

I just use my laptop for garage manual purposes...saran wrap the keyboard and voila!
