Please answer this !
You have to look at the cost.
In conventional laser printers, Drums and Toners are separate entities, i.e. to say that after 3 - 6 toner replacements would that you would then require 1 drum replacement. In some sense, it might be cheaper.
A couple of formulas i typically use to calculate my costs are as follows -
Formula 1:
Toner cost / Toner yield (how many pages it can print) to get cost per page.
Formula 2:
Assumption: 5 toner changes = 1 drum change.
5 x toner cost + 1 drum cost / Total yield (yield of 5 toners)
For your case, if you were to pick an integrated toner and drum - use formula 1. Then compare it with formula 2 for the same page yield for a separate toner - drum printer
hope this helps
