Lexmark has cheap printers but expensive ink and thus in the long run you will spend far more on printer and ink than if you got a more expensive printer that does not use nearly as much ink and the ink is cheaper as Lexmark ink is about the most expensive on the market. i have found canon has good printers and the ink is cheap as long as you stay away from the Pixma line (I have one of these and it is a really nice ink jet printer but the ink is rather expensive and does run through it pretty quickly, oh and there is so far no one making decent off brand inks for this unit yet) but most canon printers sell ink in individual colors so you can get a magenta cartridge, Cyan, etc.. instead of  being forced to buy all the colors in one unit (and one never uses the 3 colors evenly so there is always waste with the 3 in one color cartridges). HP is another good brand.

I have only owned one laser printer (color) and it died within 4 months and did a terrible job printing labels. IIRC it was a Samsung it was really cheap (under $250) and it was bad.

Rich i love your idea of getting a B&W laser printer and preprinted colored labels with the product area left blank and printing that part yourself, brilliant.
