Printer recommendations for Uni student

[like2lurk]

Hello hwz bros. I'm a university student looking to get a printer at home so that I can print notes conveniently.

I'm hoping to seek your advice in recommending a printer for my following requirements.

1. Printing 80% mono, 20% colour

2. Print & Scan

3. Printing capacity per month = 100 page / mth

4. Budget = below 300sgd

5. Would be good if I can get wireless printing & auto duplex. Scan quality to be decent as well as I might be scanning photos or magazine cutouts.

In this case would it be more recommended for me to get a mono printer and print my colour stuffs from printing shops?

If let's say I'm getting a monochrome printer, I'm actually considering this 2 models.

1) Fuji Xerox DocuPrint M225z

2) Brother DCP-L2540DW

If I'm not wrong, both models have auto duplex function. Is there any other factors such as toner price / drum warranty I need to take note of?

Sorry for asking so many questions. I actually did some research before deciding to create a thread since I couldn't get any replies from the printer advice thread. Thank you for your time!

For me, I would check on the price for cartridge replacement as well as this is what will cost me the most to replace.
