Is it better/cheaper to get a laser or refillable inkjet printer for my home network?

Can you answer fifty’s question about Inkjets?:

I know that it cost less to produce a copy from a laserjet printer, but I’ve become good at filling those inkjet cartridges plus Walgreen’s and others offer inexpensive refills. So, I was wondering which kind of printer would be good for my home network.

Also, I have a tiny home business and I have to print clothing tags on light cardboard. Do you know how I figure out which printer would do this?

    Inkjets Feedback: You can buy laserjet cartridges for a song on ebay, and they generate anwhere from 750 to 1500 pages. If you are only printing tags, maybe an eighth of a page, you’d be looking at 12000 tags maximum. An inkjet printer will generate maybe 100 pages per cartridge, for a total of around 800 tags maximum. The cost effectiveness of a laser is obvious.
