True, but the resell value on your "well wrapped" printer is about 30% of what you just paid....your watch however is still holding value! Don't forget to buy more ink!

The more you print, the more it costs you (in ink and paper)...the more you wear your Rolex, the better you feel, and at no additional cost!

But if you wear your printer on your wrist, it makes your arm sore.

But wait does the wrapping really matter it's not like anyone keeps the packaging wrappers or am I wrong and people keep their fedex ups and usps boxes. Or bags if they came from an AD.

Also I learned the hard way to just avoid using cheap printers. The cheaper your printer the more you ink is gonna cost you. I've been very happy with my color laserjet printer upgrade. The starting cost will be at least 500-600 since color lasers tend to start at 350+ for machine alone. But in the long run not only do they save you money but save you tons of time over inkjets. Laser print more than 10x faster
