Given this duty cycle, one may want to consider the ratio of cost of supplies (ink, even paper) to the cost of the printer itself.
While the cost of supplies would probably be less than the cost of the
printer itself, it would probably be significant percentage of the full
cost of printing.

Hence, it may make economic sense to buy an inexpensive printer (around
300NIS) as a throwaway item, and replace it each few months - instead of
a more durable printer (around 1500NIS).

Again, the devil is in the details - need to calculate using real data.
