Office Depot has a BW laser printer on sale for $80

OfficeDepot

These sales are typical. I have occasionally seen them as low as $50, but $80 is still a good price.

If you don't use all 10 pages one month, it carries over to the next month. I believe you can carry over up to 2 months worth of pages. So if you need to print invitations, you could even plan in advance to save pages and print them all out. Or you can up the subscription to 50 pages at $4.99/month, and then drop back down to a 10/month plan when you've gotten all your invitations printed out.

I've been using instant ink for years and it's a pretty flawless system.

Ditto on HP instant ink. I have it for my laser and my inkjet. I use my laser often so I have 100 page plan that's only $3.99 a month. Don't need color often so have 10 page plan with my inkjet.

I did the hot water, worked like a charm, Thank you.
