Why don't I see if there is a continuous ink system for your printer know there's one for Epson printers

That would be laser. And whilst there might be a cheap colour laser, there won't be cheap colour laser toner.

You also won't get decent photo reproduction from a laser, so if it's for documents only, get B&W laser and use an inkjet for colour prints only.

that's not strictly true. the £7,000 colour laser printers that i've used in the past have had outstanding photo-reproduction capabilities.

it's just a shame about the whole "seven grand" thing.

Still, if you're serious about wanting a cheap colour Laser Printer, the Dell 2150CDN is very good (only £310) and toner is only £68 per cartridge (that's only £272 for a full refill, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black)

If you want a cheap to run colour laser, buy one that can have it's toners refilled or will accept clone cartridges.

eg.
Original cartridges for my HP cost ~£65 each
Clone cartridges cost ~£25 each
Refills cost £15 each
