| − | Pumping Station: One has quite dilapidated laser printers which are tempermental and nearing the end of their useful life cycle. It has been noted that the price of laser printers, even multi-function all-in-ones has dropped dramatically in recent years.
| + | Our current printer, [[Konica Minolta Magicolor 1690 MF|Monica]], appears to not work. The toner was replaced, 79 pages later, the printer reports that there is no remaining toner. |

| − | I am sure someone has Amazon Prime at PS1. I have it if no one else does. That would eliminate shipping costs.

| − | I have used 123refills for years. I get both laser printer refill cartridges and inkjet from them. We could purchase remanufactured cartridges from them ($25), refill kits ($13 + $2), and even toner drums. Refilling is a simple process. Once we have cartridge set up for refill, it can be refilled about 3-4 times before some components start to wear and we need to spend $25 again. I do not know how much printing we do, but this seems to be the most economic option that I can find. I am happy to demonstrate how to refill cartridges if no one else has experience or interest.

| − | Probably we should charge one penny per page for b/w prints to offset materials and wear/tear just like we charge six cents/gram on the 3d printer.
