Hi Pete,

Have you considered a used printer? I bought a used Lexmark Optra
E+ for $40. Toner refills (good for a few thousand sheets) are $10
and a remanufactured drum (good for 20K sheets) is $40, so
inexpensive to run. I read that one fellow bought one for $6 at
Goodwill (a thrift store).

I'm getting good results with my Lexmark and inkjet transparencies.

Regards,
Dennis
