Advantages: Looks good, prints fast,
Disadvantages: Too expensive for heavy use

...poor old geriatric canon inkjet. HP quote about 8ppm and that seems about right. Not the fastest of lasers I know but were not doing runs of 20,000 books so it suits us fine. Set up and install ------------------------ Came in a really big box. Looks like itd take 2 printers but disappointingly there was only one.Usual plug-and-play set-up on a workstation via a usb (supplied). we got the technician to install it to the network at a later date ...
...Supplies ------------ About £40 per HP cartridde which was getting WAY too expensive for the kids to use. I think the compatibles were coming in at around £30. * 1 x toner cartridge ( cyan ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( magenta ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( yellow ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( black ) - up to 2500 pages Looks --------- Chunky but not especially bulky if that makes any sense.

Advantages: The quality of the Photo printing and it prints to A3
Disadvantages: Setting it up

I bought a Canon Pixma ix4000 about three months ago. I'm not a technical expert, either in computers or in printers, so this review may be bit lacking in some technical details. I already have a Sharp AL1457D (a multi purpose laser printer, scanner and copier) which I use for most day to day printing. The sharp only prints out onto A4 and is Black and white. I like taking photographs so I set out to buy an extra printer that was good for photographs ...
...(sods law really). The Canon meets all of my needs. It prints up to A3, fairly quickly (if its' B&W). it prints excellent quality photographs (both colour and black and white), to look at them you would think that they were produced by a Professional photo lab, they are that good. I take lots of digital photos using a Canon EOS 300D. The printer produces picture quality that is just incredible, the subtlety of tones are great. I took some photos ... Read review

Advantages: Print quality, Discounted Price
Disadvantages: Cost of toner, sheer size

...a replacement for an old HP black laser when I saw this on offer with £100 cashback from HP. Having had it running for about 3 weeks now I can report on what it's like to use. Setup was quite straightforward, I opted for the network setup so it just plugged into router. Software installs quite quickly anf the HP Toolbox keeps an eye on ink levels via pc screen, although you do have to open it first. It is slow, very slow when compared to other ...
...used to 25 ppm from the machine it replaces. However, first page comes out quickly and if you are patient ot's worth the wait. Colour reproduction is pretty impressive, black is crisp and easy to read. It is a b-i-g printer so make sure you measure your desk space before ordering. Supplies are not particularly cheap at around £40 for each cartridge covering around 2500 sheets from each. Was it the right decision to buy? I think it was, particularly ... Read review

Advantages: Extreemly Fast Colour Printing and superb Quality
Disadvantages: Large very very large, costly Replacement toner

...having previously had a Small Epson Colour inkjet which like most epson injet printers had suffered the blocked print head of death i also had a small samsung black and white laser printer which needed a new toner cartridge which would have cost more than i paid for the printer in the first place so i decided to go for the all in one option of a colour laser in recent years the costs of colour laser printers has dropped greatly and this model cost ...
...high profile brand such as Epson set up took a while as it wasn't as simple as open the top and put the cartrdges in like you would with an inkjet instead having to press buttons and wait for the internals of the machine to get ready for the next colour fitting it into my office took some thinking about the foot print of the printer is huge its currently located on a filing cabnet but still over hangs the sides Paper jams are extreemly few and far ...

Advantages: comact, stylish, good brand reputation
Disadvantages: infa red slow, is heavy when used with battery

...to buy an old canon bjc 80 or the likes. I then went onto ebay and searched for a portable printer, you can imagine all the junk that came up and then I saw it, the Canon Pixma IP90, looking very stylish, so like everything else I buy I searched the internet for information on it, and all the reviews I found were positive, albeit the printer was a bit pricey at £199 but I was not swayed and and kept hunting for the best price, in the end I bought ...
...for the pair for original canon but you can get generic replacements for a fraction of the cost, I personally use the original ones, but again I don't print hundreds of pages, just the average family use so it doesn't hurt me when I have to replace them. The print quality is really good from a compact ink jet printer, good enough to print decent charts, documents and even photos. The canon boasts print speeds of upto 16 pages per minute, this must ... Read review
