All In One Printer Choice
« on: December 20, 2006, 11:46:21 pm »
I have searched and found nothing that really seemed to answer my question - hence this post.

I need to buy a new All In One Printer for around the £100-£150 mark.

It needs to be economical as it will be used for things like my wife's Uni assignments (print quality must be of a decent standard).

It needs to be able to connect and be used as part of my home network (Wifi would be great)

It needs to stand up to use from my teenage daughter (homework etc)

It needs to have Memory Card slots and if possible Pict Bridge

If possible it should have a horizontal paper feed - flatbed I think?

If anybody has any recommendations please let me know :)

You need to look at running costs, a lot of the all in ones are cheap to buy but pricey to run. Lexmarks for one.

If you're planning on doing a lot of printing I'd consider 2 machines, a cheap laser as well as a combined colour printer scanner. It may well work out cheaper, especially if you get toner refills rather than new cartridges, besides lasers are better for text. You can get a cheap Samsung Laser from ebuyer for under £50, it could soon pay for itself if your wife is doing a lot assignments.

If you deffo want all in one think there's a decent HP in your price range with all the features you specify, can't recall a model number though. Have a look in the bargain thread stickied at the top and browse through ebuyer and overclockers and read a few reviews
Well, I don't know what it is, but there's definitely something going on upstairs

Thanks Armin.

It looks a choice between the Canon Pixma MP600 and the HP 2575.

Anyone have any experience of these?

Now I have to decide to get the wireless model or the base model and buy a Bluetooth print server.

Finally plumped for a Brother MFC 440CN.

Seems to do all I want for £149 from Staples down to £134 after a voucher.

Got 14 days to get it sorted or take it back for another.

Anyone got any experience of Brother Printers - should I stay or should I go?????

It's been awhile since I looked at consumer law but I'm pretty sure it's well within your rights to execute that assistant in a manner of your choice. A touch extreme when a mere flogging would suffice but it may improve the standard of consumer care in that store.

And he was such a nice chap for a numpty.

I appreciate your earlier comments about 2 machines but money and space dictate just the one.

The annoying thing is finding a printer that I like and then finding it has shit reviews and is rather unreliable.

So do I go for my original choice of the Canon MP600R, take a 'chance' on what seems to be a dodgy HP or go for the unknown with a Brother???????

Advice needed on new printer
« Reply #10 on: March 22, 2015, 08:50:09 am »
My old Epson inkjet printer gave up the ghost recently & I need to get a new printer.

Requirements: nothing too fancy needed, everyday printing of tickets, letters etc. May need colour when printing work documents at home, like presentations or reports. Budget around £150 max.

Been looking at lasers ahead of inkjets. Dont want high running costs. Looked at a few brands: like the look of 1 of the Samsung lasers.

Anyone got any bright ideas for me?

When looking at colour laser printers check the price of compatible toner cartridges. Not all printers have cheap alternative toner suppliers.

Last year I got a Dell 2150cdn for about 120 quid - I needed the duplexer.

You can get a set of 4 compatible toner cartridges for 40 notes, as opposed to 80 quid each for the official version.

If you're just using it for occasional printing, have you really a need for spending so much on a printer?

Personally I'd go for one with decent print quality (most will be for 'normal' printing) and cheap alternative cartridges - something you could probably get for under half the £150 budget.

Looking for a good quality printer/scanner/copier that is capable of doing 40-60 pages per week without drinking the ink like I drink pints on my lunch. One that will last for a few years.

I did a fair bit of research before buying the HP Envy 7640 about three months ago.  I'm pleased with it - I need a reliable wifi printer/scanner/copier, and this doesn't seem to lose wifi connection like my previous epson printer.  It's a Which? best buy - as are several other of the HP Envy range.  I think non-wifi ones in the range are cheaper.  Depends on what you want.  Regarding printing costs, it gets 4 stars (out of 5) in the Which review.

I think all printers seem to drink ink.  This doesn't seem quite as thirsty as some.

I've currently got a HP C4400, which is a decent enough printer, but the ink is shit. I'm getting less than half of what I should from a brand new cartridge. Last 2 cartridges I'd be surprised if I got more than 140 pages in total. That really should be enough for closer to 300. I need something that gets me somewhat close to what the page yeild on the descriptions suggest.

I've worked in the printing business for 17 years and all I could say to you is, if you do a lot of printing you are better off paying more for a good quality printer as then you will be able to buy cartridges that will have more ink in them and last longer. If you buy a cheap printer the cartridges won't last long at all...

Hope that helps!

Yeah I don't mind going to around £100-£125 ish mark. As I said, it'll be doing 40-60 pages a week every week for as long as it lasts.

Ok, well the thing to remember about the printing business model is "they'll get you one way or the other".

You can A - Buy a cheap printer that the company, say HP, sell at a loss in some cases (believe it or not) and then spend the duration paying a lot for low fill ink cartridges.

Or B - Spend a good amount of money (like what you are thinking or a little more even) up front on the printer and then enjoy the fact that the cartridges you pay for will go a lot further than option A. There are also Instant Ink deals you can sign up for with HP for example that might be worth looking into for you.

Also, would be a good idea to have a look online at a few options, then google what supplies the ones you have short listed take, to see how many pages and what sort of costs replacement cartridges/supplies will set you back.

Ive not had my own printer @ home for years (managed to use ones @ work or library). However, need a new 1 to print out stuff for work like reports/presentations etc and other text docs like gig tickets, CVs etc. Had an Epson inkjet, but dont know if a laser one is better now. Budget of around £150. Printing costs also important.

If you're going to not use the printer for long periods of time, then a laser printer is better, as the printer head  tends to dry out in an inkjet.

True. I've lost count of the printers I've chucked because I haven't used them for a few months. Even the print head cleaning regime does nothing.

Not sure about an all-in-ones.  I get the advantage of space saving (and maybe an easier way to  do scan-to-print) but when the printer inevitably fucks you end up trashing a perfectly good scanner.

I would definitely go for a laser printer though. I got sick of ink - it costs a fortune, occasionally shags documents and eventually it will do for the printer itself.  Print quality for business is also superior and with a laser and it doesn't run if it gets wet!

I bought a small Samsung colour laser (CLP315) to fit my desk about 6 years ago for about £100 and its been great. One black toner cartridge is supposed to do 1,500 pages and costs about £36 (2.4 p/sheet) but if you are canny you can pick up genuine Samsung ones on ebay for £10-20 (about 1p/sheet).

We recently bought an HP Envy 5000 (I think) and evening for an idiot like me it’s really good to use. Can print via an app on my phone, or via the laptop and can get ink automatically ordered when it’s running low.

Old thread bump!

After a printer, but I am the least decisive person in the world when I don't have good information and reviews for most are shocking. Don't want to spend a fortune or end up with something that has extortionate ink costs. I've had inkjets and a laser before, laser great for doc printing but I think it'd be nice to be able to print colour or photos and artwork so been looking at inkjets. I don't exactly need a scanner as I've got a good one already. I've been looking at Epson because they were always good for photo printing and I saw this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Epson-Expression-Photo-XP-970-Printer/dp/B07XZHX1RT/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

And I was also looking at the WorkForce one on argos, which I guess won't be as good for photo prints but it's not like I want to do things to sell or anything. The thing with that workforce one is size, it looks fucking massive. The other one isn't exactly tiny, but I like the idea of being able to print larger than A4, could do some nice prints for the house/office.

Anyone have one, know these are shite or can recommend ones to look at?

Was basically looking for the same thing.

I use my printer for an at home business and need an all in one printer/copier/scanner.

Looks like that one is a little small.

Does anyone have any recommendations of a good home office unit.

I'm using an HP Pro 479 and the ink costs are getting ridiculous.

Recommend a Home Office Printer
« Reply #38 on: November 30, 2022, 12:32:33 pm »
Anyone got some good recommendations. I am getting really fucked off with what seems to be about a 2-3 life span for home printers.

I have an HP Laserjet Pro M479fdw.

2 years on and it really has some reliability issues, print cartridges are criminally expensive and I just feel at the end of my patience with it.

Does anyone have a home printer they actually like.

Cost is less of an issue as I really do run my business from my home, so I use it pretty regularly and like having a decent paper cartridge, good scanner and good print capability.

Thanks.

The joys of an inkjet printer, it's sometimes/usually cheaper to just buy a new printer than to replace the cartridges. You'd be better off looking into a laser printer, it'll work out cheaper in the long run and last a lot longer - maybe something like a Brother L2750 or a Canon MF743?
