if its high quality black and white letters you want to print, the cheap desktop lasers are worth a look. My Samsung ML1510 is a few years old now and serves this purpose wonderfully.

Yeah I got the sammy and its old and reliable - Id get the bruv if its cheaper to run though.

I had an Epson, and before that an Epson, cartridges cost me like £2.89, and about £6 when i needed colour to and the printer cost me like £35-40, so will be buying Epson again?

And i dont need high quality black prints, i dont even know how to tell high quality, its black and it gets printed on white paper?

but the quality is almost secondary, if youre only printing letters in black and white then a Laser is cheaper to run than an Ink-Jet. Even at ~£60 for a cart in my Sammy youre looking at 3000 pages per cart so thats 2p per sheet, and thats assuming you cant be bothered re-filling the carts yourself (~£10 for a bottle of toner, same 3000 print yield, ~3 refils per cart, therefore ~£80 for 9000 sheets = a shade under 1p per sheet).

of course if you need colour its a different story, but only because colour lasers are expensive to buy, they are still cheaper to run unless youre after true photo quality colour.

do the reverese

price up the cheapest inks & then read reviews about the printers.

canons come in the cheapest i think

the man has a point there

of course if you need colour its a different story, but only because colour lasers are expensive to buy, they are still cheaper to run unless youre after true photo quality colour.
