Printer Question

Post by CelticCat » Sat Mar 07, 2015 3:59 pm

Home use, under $100, don't really need color. Thoughts?

I'm leaning towards laser monochromes, maybe a bit higher initial cost but I like the idea of 2,600 pages per cartridge, and not having to use it weekly just so it doesn't clog.

I have a laser monochrome wi-fi that cost me about $40. I also have a laser color that was about $60. They should have something like a pumpkin chunker for inkjets. Be patient and subscribe to the Cheapskate, he usually finds a good seal about once a month.

Just bought that printer for $129.99. It's amazing. The scanner-less version is 89.99 but the scanning was a must for us. The wireless printing is also something I'll never go back from. Brother is probably the better option for laser printers.


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

My monochrome printer is a brother. My color one is a Dell. I don't have scanning on either one.
