Printers and ink??

[coffeeman]

Anyone have any suggestions on printers that print cheaply. Something that I don't need a small loan to buy ink.
Like it to work to. I would rather pay a little more for printer if I get miles out of ink

Look at the new 4500 hp and sign up for auto ink delivery fairly cheap at best buy.

IMO stay away from HP...look at Brother, Cannon, Lexmark and Kodak...check the prices on ink refills...

Ink jets are fine if you use them regularly otherwise consider a laser printer...

again, JMO...

The best thing you can do is get yourself a laser printer. I have been thru a couple of ink jets. The ink was so expensive, dried up when you needed it. About 6 years ago I bought a Samsung Clp-300 series laser printer. The toner cartridges last for a very long time. I bought these little chips off Amazon that allow you to fill the cartridges with raw toner. This thing has been great. It is fast, always ready and never dries up. The only drawback is the old inkjet I had could do photo prints. The laser will do photo prints, but they are not nearly photo quality. I just upload my photos to the local pharmacy and get my pics that way.
This is the newer version of the one I bought, but it is pretty much the same.

We finally thru in the towel with ink jet and went to a laser printer. Had a Epson ink jet and spent way too much $$$ for ink cartridges. Haven't got the laser printer hooked up yet but hope it is a little more economical to run.

I get the cheap ink refills from amazon for 2 canon and 2 brother all in one printers. They are about 8-14 dollars for pretty much four cartridges each of black and all the colors. That is like 12 cartridges (depending on the particular printer) for half of what they want for 1 brand name cartridge. Of course the manufacturer says they won't work but I have been using them for years. I was afraid to use them at first but was so fed up with the ink cost that I tried them anyway. Have had no problem so far.
PRINTER INK IS A SCAM

I have a laser printer at work. Black only. Had it since I bought 4 Win XP pro machines. still working after printing about 250 invoices a week.
Toner replaced seldom enough that I didn't notice. The toner is a little more pricy. But, Ink is changed so frequently, I think it costs more expensive
than toner. Same thing with an old copy machine. Both workhorses. laser might be the way to go.

They print in color I guess? I'm guessing the printing quality is good? I wonder how they stack up against ink jet when printing
picture quality? I'm interested in printing some advertising 8 1/2 x 11 hand outs. I'm wanting to get somewhat glossy looking, but
don't exactly need picture. Just want nice.

Sounds interesting. However, last home printer I got was HP. I didn't start up printer for a couple months. First few pages I
Got an out of ink message. Too late to return and get refund and Best Buy allowed nothing for no ink. Bought another set
of ink. Used it a little and let printer set for while. Same thing, getting an out of ink message.

But, I think every brand is bad.

My new policy when buying anything, use it immediately giving it a good chance to malfunction in time to get a no questions
asked return, if offered.

Anyone know of a reasonably priced laser All in One?

I just got some for my HP on amazon and the price was great. Just watch the seller

 

[davesl708]

I print very little. 50 pages per year.
I had a Dell V715 all in one. Worked great till the ink dried in the print head after 147 pages printed. Dell's solution was to replace the print head. At $110.
Ink cost $89.
I bought a HP 6700 Premium at $149 to replace it. It is a low volume printer and cleans the head after idle time passes. Now the ink does not dry out but only getting about 100 pages before the low ink warning comes up.

If this one goes bad I will go to laser. Color laser is much better quality. At work we have laser printers in remote locations that may print once per quarter for reports. The printers are over 10 years old and no problems.

I agree with you, go laser.
We went through 2-3 ink jets over the years, and finally got a Samsung black and white laser printer, that looks very similar to the color laser printer in the link you provided.
May actually pick up that Samsung color laser too.

I have a Samsung CLP-310N colour laser... had it for about 5 years, still working great. It's connected to my network router, so any device, PC, tablet, smartphone in the house can print to it anytime. I'm sure it won't last forever, but at $110, I feel it was a good deal. Toner is cheap compared to ink. Over the last 15 years, I've had 6 inkjets, even a Canon that cost $250, none lasted over a year.

We got a Cannon MF4770 at Best Buy for $89. It's an all-in-one, meaning printer, copier, fax and scanner, but not color. Got an extra cartridge on line for $18. Cartridge lasts for 4 - 5 K copies. What more could you want?

Went through this last week. If you can print something every week to keep the ink from drying and you print less than 250 pages/month then go with an inkjet. Otherwise, shell out the cash for a LaserJet.

I have used Epsons for many years. My last ones were the 400, the 800 and now the Workforce 545. They are great inkjet printers for people who print often. I generally print at least 5 pages a day and sometimes much more. Many times I used to print out newsletters by the hundreds.

I buy most of my ink off ebay and the last pack of 10 new high capacity cartridges I bought was $10.25 with free shipping. I have found the generic ink cartridges to be just as reliable as the OEM ones.

If you rarely use your printer many cartridges will dry up and stop up.

Epson's have individual ink wells, so you only have to replace the one that's out. You can get really reasonable ink at Printer Ink Cartridges, Inkjet Cartridges & Cheap Ink. I order from them about once every year or two. Still using a 10 year old Epson. Can't beat it to death.

I am interested in the new Brother printers. They print sideways, so they can print not only 8.5 x 11, but they can print 11 x 17 as well. Still reading review on them.

I have a HP color laser and a HP B&W laser all in one. I also have a HP 24" wide format inkjet. For everyday use the laser is the way to go, no smearing or dried up ink. I buy all my toner from Imagine Office, about half the cost of HP toner.

This printer is pretty cheap. I can't see where it's a laser printer on ad. How much is toner?
