Can anyone recommend a decent printer (inkjet) for home use? It doesnt have to be the best quality, more important are the running costs. At the moment I have an Epsom 680 - decent quality, but the cartridges are well expensive. In fact, I'd even say that the ink costs more than the printer is worth !!! So, is there such a thing out there - a decent quality printer with relatively low running costs ??? |

i'm with KCWebMonkey! it looks like Mr. Caveman had fun with that printer. Its the latest in their technology (.0000001 Pages per minute). Just curious: how much does that printer cost? ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

I'll try to give an answer and i suggest a canon s520 that manage 4 separate ink cartridge so you can cange only one color at time instead of the entire colour cartridge of epson and hp. It's a good quality printer too, and if you have to print some photo it will do the job expecially with the right paper. If you want a real good photo quality i suggets the s820, 6 cartridge and really good photo! and if you print a lot of colour pages/photo is less expensive than s520. If you don't need colour i suggest a laser like hp 1000, a cartidge will do over 2000 copies!

I'd a very bad experience with this... they are consumpted very fast + when a color goes off... the whole printer become useless... + the cost of a one color cartridge ~ the cost of the whole four color together...
so from here.. I recommend Mr. Caveman's printer |
