Mark my words: Ink printers are dead. What killed them was, among inferior technology, the ridiculous ink prices. Sure, you can't print decent photos with a color laser printer, but seriously -- who ever printed a serious amount of photos on their private printer anyway? I know I haven't.

I try to only print out stuff I really have to, i.e., train tickets, boarding passes, or papers I'd like to read "offline". That's why my ink jet cartridge used to go south a few weeks after every single time I had replaced it. The laser printer is much more reliable in that case, it doesn't complain if I don't print anything in months...
