What is the cost of running a laser printer?

I don't know if to get a monochrome or colour laser printer? Colour would look nicer on the business mail, but if it costs too much, I'd sooner have black and white as I will not get any extra business in colour. I ditched my Brother Laser black and white printer as it was too expensive to run and it was of naff quality. I have got a colour ink-job one.

1. A laser printer is less than one third the operating cost of an ink-jet. The initial cost is the largest hurdle. I run a HP laser Jet 1022 and for B/W it is superb. 1200X1200 dip, and fast.
2. Laser printer cost a lot at first but cheaper for long run, it also give you a better quality result especially if you need to do some presentation (required to print chart or picture) or print some important documents. For b&w text, it almost giving no different result in quality except the average price and time to print per page (laser printer produce cheaper and also quicker than inkjet). The other disadvantage of the inkjet printer is they using liquid ink which make the paper wringkle.
3. you made abig mistake in ditching your laser printer , in the long run , laser printer cost is much morecheaper than inkjet , toner cartridges have more capacity to print than any inkjet
