The "cheap" colour laser printer is just a mirage. All they have done
is loaded the price of the toner cartridges and subsidised the initial
cost of the printer, knowing you will have to spend far more on toner
than you could have believed.

It's called razor-blade marketing - give away the razor but charge a
fortune for the blades.


Thanks, Mike. A very apt phrase.
