I mostly print in black and white but occasionally would like to make color copies do I need separate machines?
A dedicated color machine is still significantly more expensive that a black and white machine (probably 25% more) and also will cost more per page due to the higher costs of color ink. An increasingly common option is a hybrid copy machine that mainly prints black and white but can also switch to color copying or printing. Unless you print a large volume of color and require very high-quality color reproduction, a hybrid machine is your best bet to keep ongoing costs down.
