Thats what I have, color laser. Cheaper is in the eyes of the beholder. In the long run yes. It lasts forever by comparison. Plus I got tired of dried up color cartridges. Now those got expensive.
Nothing to dry up in laser. The starter kit that came with it lasted for over a year for me. Then I had to buy the black one. The rest are still going. But you do have to watch paper jams, the only problem I have had so far.
