You're correct that if you're printing 100s of pages per week, laser is the way to go. That wasn't really what I was talking about, although I realize I was not very specific. Most people just print a few pages every few weeks, and I'm arguing that those are also good use cases for laser. The upfront cost of laser is pretty low these days. You can often get a color all-in-one laser, with duplexer, for under $200. The sweet spot for ink is somewhere in the middle. Printing regularly, but not high volume.
