**TIRED OF EXPENSIVE INK CARTRIDGES!!!** WHAT PRINTER IS THE CHEAPEST TO OPERATE OVER LONG TERM?

LIKE MOST OF THE PUBLIC I%26#039;VE BEEN SPENDING A FORTUNE ON REPLACING INK CARTRIDGES FOR MY HP. WHAT BRAND AND WHAT TYPE OF PRINTERS ARE THE CHEAPEST TO OPERATE IN THE LONG RUN?|||Your best choice would be one of those new Kodak ESP series printers. The ink tanks sell for about HALF of what HP, Canon, Epson etc. charge. The beauty part is that it also prints laboratory grade photos. I bought one and now will never consider firing up my old HP printer. The kodak quality and cost are just better all the way around.





I found this site. This may be of interest to you,





www.printandprosper.com





It explains in terms of operating costs for ink. Very informative.|||i%26#039;ve got a HP, wish i never bought the dam thing.





I got plenty of black in left, but the yellow is finnished, and i cant use the printer or scanner on it untill i replace it! even if i select just use black cartridge!





any printer will do best if you turn down the quality of print to draft.





but the best inkjet printers for value are the Cannon printers.





Best overall value for money printer, i would have to say would be a Lazer printer, although there Toners are very expensive, you will get a huge amount of prints off of it befor you have to replace one.





but unlike inkjet printers, if you print a blanc peice, you cant reuse it, because some of the toner is on every sheet that comes out, and if you use it again in the printer, it will jam.|||Definitely Epson as I%26#039;ve learned in my over 20 years of computer support.





The best warranty in the industry. For a year, Epson will express-ship a replacement and pick up the old one.





Epson has also made things easier for their customers by standardizing their cartridges. Most of their printers use one of two types. The three-color plus black use T069 (CX5000 CX6000 CX7000 CX7400 CX7450 CX8400 CX9400FAX CX9475Fax NX100 NX105 NX400 Workforce 30/40/500/600 and C120) and the 5-color plus black use T078 (R260 R280 R380 RX580 RX595 and RX680). This means finding cartridges is easy.





I get cartridges for my Epsons from http://ccs-digital.com for under $3 each which hold 50% more ink than standard cartridges.|||The printer that is by far the cheapest to operate


over long and short term is suggested to be


the Sumsung CLP-300





You can find one here for 144 usd

I go to like Walgreens or places of those sorts to refill them instead of buying. my mom got tried of buying me new cartridges and told me to have them refilled.|||I WOULD SAY LASER PRINTERS ARE THE CHEAPEST TO OPERATE IN THE LONG RUN!
