"Keeping toner cost to a minimum is important, so I'd pay more for a printer with lower toner cartridge cost.This is for direct mail printing, so I need color to stay on the page without smudging, but it doesn't have to be archive quality.I also want to print full-bleed on 6"x10.5" card, preferably without cutting, so an adjustable paper tray would be helpful."
