    Laser is the answer. Inkjet dries and clogs the jets if not used often like back when it was invented. Hardly anyone prints like that anymore.

      Only problem with laser is the desk size for color laser. If you don’t print very often, and you want color, a laser can take up space.

        If you don’t print very often and you want color, inkjet is terrible because of the short lifespan of the cartridges. Your library will probably have a printing service available for cheap or free. I think mine does color too. I get $35 of print credit every month just for living in the county. Otherwise there’s always commercial print shops like FedEx.

          Totally agree. I’ve been keeping ink tanks in ziplock bags so they don’t dry out.

          I think I might cut over to a B&W inkjet. There are tiny versions of those now, and I can print color elsewhere.
