The modern printers are the digital laser & inkjet printers that are simple to use. Co$t of Printing Paper and ink are the unavoidable costs of any industry. unless it completely depends on a paper free digital technology. The ink of Inkjet printer costs much more for a milliliter of ink i.e. 51 p compared to the most expensive Dom Perignon champagne that costs just 15 p. and hence is considered extravagant.
