so I`m getting grief to buy a new printer for home .. don`t want to spend more than £150 ish not keen on HP really and I quite like the refillable jobbies ... doesn`t have to be a AIO but colour and not really photos ....any pointers ?
I have a Konica Minolta colour laser, it's v good and less susceptible to paper quality - it cost £180 around 9 years ago. Consumables are good compared to ink jet. For ink jet I'd go Kodak as their ink saving tech is supposedly top draw.
HP , Had it over 10yrs cost just over £115, ultra reliable , cheap non HP cartridges off eBay , what’s not to like ? ...wireless too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I use an Epson L555 for printing our MG club newsletters ( mixed print and photos) as well as home stuff etc - it has the large capacity tanks for coloured inks which work out at £10 each (£40 total) and they last about a year printing several hundred pages - I have had it 2+ years and works well so far - bought from Argos .
I gave up on my printer at home when I realised that the ink cost more per ml than Chanel. Now I steal low quality printing from work and pay for high quality at Max Speilman (or similar).
I've had a Brother DCP-J4120DW for a year or so now. It's good for occasional. use as it does periodic auto cleans and gives good prints every time. Can also do A3 prints if you need them. I believe that if you go to ijt.com or something like that, you can get a free one if you buy loads of ink.
Canon MG5750. Bought one from PCW in the Black Friday sale for £45! Takes XL cartidges and Cartidge World do their own inks cheaper than Canon. HP ink cartridges are tiny. I use use Canons throughout my business - 2 desktops and 2 large format - and they're definitely the most economical to run for me.
I’m happy with my HP. Prints wirelessly from my phone or tablet. I can also send it an email and it will print the attachment. Cost £50, and I pay £1:99 per month to print up to 50 pages. They send the ink when required.
