If you re doing a lot of printing, consider printers that can do double-sided printing. Actually, it s the printer software that handles this function. For longer documents, the printer outputs odd-numbered pages. You re-insert the paper into the printer and the machine prints the other side, cutting your paper costs almost in half. I say almost because the best results are achieved with heavy paper stock so the image from one side does not bleed through to the other.
Laser printers can produce the cheapest output, perhaps as low as three cents a page.
Color ink-jet printers cost about ten cents a page, with black and white output between five and seven cents.
