jerry1939 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Our old, Inkjet printer is starting to make strange noises (My old body does also, but I digress). We only need a basic printer/scanner, no bells or whistles. What would you Nice People recommend? Also, do you know of one that doesn't guzzle ink like crazy? Suggestions most Welcome. jerry Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Jerry, whatever you choose , Ink is the culprit....They all use too much and it all cost too much !......I'm not a lot of help huh !?! Quote
GrampaJim Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 I kept my old printer/scanner just to use as a scanner. Then bought a laser printer for $99 at Wally World last fall. Have not needed to refill anything but paper yet. Businesses use lasers because cost per sheet printed is way less. No color but I only print pattern! Quote
Dan Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 Well, Jerry, if you don't want one that guzzles ink get a laser printer. My next printer will be a laser just because it sounds cool. Quote
amazingkevin Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 Jerry ,I have been refilling my own cartridges with non original ink .It costs nothing to refill each cartridge ,well pennies compared to $25. for each one.check into whether the printer you chose if refillable cartridges are availiable.Epson wf3520 takes them.I get the ink from amazon with cartridges for $32.00 and can print many reams of paper in color or b&w.

CMHN Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 I bought a laser printer many years ago and wont go back to inkjet. They print fast, the toner goes a long way and you can transfer the ink to a project if you wanted to. Quote
orangeman Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 I bought a Brother laser printer several months ago - black ink only. Absolutely love it. Instant start up. wireless too. Between $100 and $150 at office Max. Actually the folks at BEst Buy sent me there! bb GrampaJim 1 Quote
WayneMahler Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 Anymore you can a printer for cheap. They get you on purchasing the ink. When you find a printer you like, next research the price of the ink refills, a little extra work pays off in the long run. Quote
nrscroller Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 Hi I bought that Samsung laser printer at Walmart for like 99 bucks. It is great. Only black and white, but it copies also. I have it set up in the back part of my shop to print patterns. Check it out. A toner cartridge lasts a long time vs ink carts Bill Quote
