Order Cheap Color Printers and Ink Cartridges

Affordable Home Use Printer

May 16th, 2008

Reader’s Question:

You’ve probably received a lot of these type of questions, but I need an advice on what printer to purchase. If I need a regular printer for regular printing of about 40-50 pages of text (and rarely graphics) a week for home use , which printer would be the most convenient and affordable for me, coming with enough features, the ink/toner for which the cost is very minimal and has positive reviews.

I am a personal user of a printer that prints in the same category of
you like you, I would look at an all in one printer. I have one from HP (PS1315) and it scans, photocopies and prints at the same time. In addition, it also has a direct port to hook your digital camera into it. Its got great quality and I have not had a problem with the mechanical parts or the feeder. My one big disadvantage is the cost of the cartridge. I would recommend an HP with an 3 in 1 function and that has separate ink cartridges for each colour. I like to purchase a couple of cartridges (so I have a backup!), refill them one or two times and then purchase new ones. This works great for HP’s because the print head is on each individual cartridge, your printing will always be in great quality!

One point you should also consider is laser vs. inkjet printer. Although
inkjet printers are much more affordable, the cartridges cost quite a
a lot.

I would suggest - from my own private research when buying a new
printer - that Lexmark received lots of negative reviews, much more
than the brand I finally chose for (HP).
