I bought a Brother inkjet this year myself, the price per page looked to be cheaper overall (as was the printer itself). I'm mass printing zines and related, so also bought a big cutter and auto folder

For OP, having a printer at home will show its usefulness at random times. I'm definitely glad I pulled the trigger, partially because of being a prepper, re: my government, not the apocalypse. (a little brother incase big brother...)
