Printers > Xerox Printers > Inkjet

Advantages: Individual ink tanks, does the job (eventually)
Disadvantages: makes plenty of cock-ups, expensive if the printhead goes caput

Sometime around either October or November 2000 I obtained one of these in Curry's in Scarborough for about £50 and been using it on & off ever since. Installing it was a fairly simple matter of following the instructions and plugging one cable into the electrical socket, and the other into the back of my Iomega Zip drive. It can be slightly noisey, and on numberous occasions caused me to jump a bit when it suddenly decides to do a print cycle. ...
...too badly, but shortly after I've ever since had to resort to sticking the sheets in one at a time to stop it taking the entire bloody lot with it, and printing onto several sheets at the same time. I also discovered if one of the Ink tanks (which each hold about 25ml of ink) runs out, then it refuses to print even if you don't need to use that particular colour.... like if the Cyan (blue) ink tank runs out, but it wouldn't matter because the document ...

Advantages: Separate colour cartridges, Fast, Express Option.
Disadvantages: Incompatible Windows XP Driver.

I purchased the Xerox M750 about in April 2002 and at the time had a personal computer running windows ME. The reason for the buy was the price (at the time £45) and the fact that it had a 1200x1200 best photo resolution. Under Windows ME I was incredibly happy with the printer the driver that comes with the printer has a preferences and status monitor that not only gives you complete control of everything from colour and contrast to page layout ...
...option. I then contacted Xerox who told me that they had had many complaints about this driver, but, that there was no love lost between Xerox and Microsoft and that there would not be an update to the software. This has left me no choice but to get another printer!!!!!? People have asked me to add a little more information about the printer so here are a few statistics and numbers :-) The printer runs from both USB and parallel measures 18.5" ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, great mono output
Disadvantages: Bad colour output - tempermental

For an A3 printer, the Xerox C20 doesn’t come at a bad price – if you want to print text. Warning: DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER IF YOU ARE A GRAPHICS ENTHUSIAST – the printer only seems to print file under 1Mb, and even then it is selective. At under £150, this printer is the cheapest A3 on the market – although this is obviously reflected in the above, and in the colour print quality. The pictures printed out, even at 1200dpi ...
...However, the black printing that this printer produces is outstanding – and very quick. The text is laser sharp on 600dpi and even better on 1200dpi – you cannot go far wrong. This printer has many opportunities for expansion, with extra paper trays, cartridges and hard drives available. Also another word of warning, the ink is not smudge proof for about 2 years, so if your document is going to be handled a lot, laminate it!! ... Read review

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Mail Order only

A free printer is available, as long as you are willing to pay for the ink cartrages, from this site. I came across it by mistake and have found that it is one of the best ways to get a printer of this quality in your home for an affordable price. The actual cost is £50, this is because you have to pay for the 4 ink cartrages at £7.50 each adn then the 10 postage. I have tried thisd and am telling you that this is the way forward.
