Brother printers aren't even that much more expensive than HP. I think you break even by the time you have to buy like 2 HP ink cartridges. Even the toner cartridges that the brother printers come with last what feels like forever and they're not even filled up all the way.

Yeah it's definitely cost effective over time, and the printers generally seem to be higher quality. I've heard about inkjet printers breaking a lot during moves, but I've moved with my brother printer like 5-6 times and it's been fine through everything.
