Toner doesn't dry out; you only pay for what you actually print.

Beware, however, that if you live in a very humid climate, toner will clump easily. I suspect this is why inkjets are very common in Southeast Asia, whereas lasers are not as popular there.

One needs to keep in mind that toner dust and ozone may pose a health risk when printers are used close to to where people live/work.

Many printer manufacturers nowadays sell inkjet printers with laser-printer like operating costs, where ink is dirt-cheap, but the printer is correspondingly more expensive. Google for Epson EcoTank or Brother Inkvestment.

Dust from toner clearly provokes cancer. You need to be careful for those who have a lot of printer work.
