7/7 My Epson Stylus Color 600 is getting a bit old and feeling a bit slow.
I'd like to replace it with a cheap (<$200) color ink jet. I'm not
printing photos, but I occasionally use color. Reccomendations?
\_ Office Depot has decent printeres (canon, epson) for <$100.
\_ Yes, but how robust are they? How much does the ink cost? What
PPM count? I've been using the Epson for 5 years now, and I'd like
something reliable and fast.
\_ Go to Best Buy. There's a cute HP combo scanner/printer that's
very space efficient -- chicks dig it. HP PSC 1210.
\_ I'm actually looking to replace my scanner too, but I don't want
one of these combo products. The scanner is typically limited to
8.5x11 and there are now 2 components that can break.
\_ It has copier functionality too. I highly recommend you
at least see it; it's a lot smaller than a single-function
inkjet. I wouldn't be using it to scan, either.
\_ But the chicks dig it!
\_ For $200, you can get a Brother 1440 laser printer which is on
sale from Dell right now. Unless you need photo quality color
printing, don't bother with the inkjets.
\_ The HL-5040 is the next version and similarly priced. Anyways,
he said inkjet, which means he wants color.
\_ What part of "color ink jet" and "I'm not printing photos" didn't
you understand? -OP
\_ I really like the Epson C80/C82 series. It's bulkier and not as
cute as the HP PSC 1210, but the C80/C82 prints fast at reasonable
quality when compared to HP printers. Loud paper loading though.
Don't know much about Canon. |
