Thanks to techies here and on the other site I won't name, after 30 years I moved to dry ink. My laser Brother I bought used for 80$ with 3 full cartridges and an open one, will last me until I die. I can print 3500 pages! Laser is beyond superior vs inkjet. It's not even comparable.

Seconded! At least, about the brand loyalty, can't speak to the claim of them being stagnant.

I'm 51. I'm on my 3rd laser printer, ever. I shudder to think about how many inkjets I would've gone through, judging by the struggles I have seen in other households of just my own family.

First one was a giant thing from Oki whose main beauty was that it did proper PostScript and had both ethernet (10-base T) and AppleTalk, which we needed. The other ones were from Brother, first a black and white model and now a colour thing with duplex and a scanner. Not great for photos but everything else it just owns.
