Re: wireless printing on a budget

what do you want to have as minimum requirements?
for me is the epson sx235w (all-in-one) good enough and i think it's much cheaper..
i especially like that i can change every color seperately (many brands can), but epson has cheap inkt refill cartridges..

but it depends on your demands/requirements..

Re: wireless printing on a budget

hi

I have to confirm the biggest (hidden) cost is the ink (black + colour - colour sometimes in 1 cartridge and sometimes seperately). In the end, the ink will cost you a lot more than the printer itself (if you print regularly of course). Just want to say to pay attention to the prices of the cartridges (orginal + alternatives)!

Re: wireless printing on a budget

yeah, I've been hooked before by the cheap printer expensive refill scenario .

Re: wireless printing on a budget

little suggestion: if you print frequently and want good quality, you might consider a laserprinter (ok, toners cost a lot, but you can print thousands of pages).
I'm still using an Epson and an HP (both inkjet), but future one will be a colourlaser.

Re: wireless printing on a budget

The cheapest way to print, is to print with inkjet and refill with needles. Even with high price ink you print nearly for free.

I would suggest a canon printer and a refill set with chip resetter this works really well. The printers are cheap and the jet is inside the printer. I use this setup a long time now and i would suggest it to everyone else.

The MG5250 will be a cheap choice over the time. Do you have a wlan router with usb? Maybe you dont need a wlan printer in that case and can plug it in there. So you could buy a even cheaper printer.

hi

Good idea (and surely the cheapest way), although I know some people who tried this and weren't satisfied with the printing quality (don't know which brand), in the end they all bought a laserprinter.
Do you have the same printing quality as with the original cartridges?

Re: wireless printing on a budget

I use ink from a brand named sudhaus. Looks as good as original. Printed about 2000 pages with it and no problems.

Re: wireless printing on a budget

Re: wireless printing on a budget

ok guys I went for the canon MG5250, prints DVD's and thinkning about CISS Continuous Ink System from ebay....... comments welcome.

Re: wireless printing on a budget

hi

don't know the CISS, but just looked shortly and seems very promising, surely if you print a lot it will be a lot cheaper ; thanks for the tip!

also read: disadvantage is that the printerhead of an CISS is very difficult to clean and to replace ; ink of the original manufacter seems to give better printresult ; also too thin or too thick ink can cause problems ; tests with CISS positive with Canon and Epson ; negative with HP -> you may have taken the right choice.
