INKJET PRINTERS

Advantages: can pick one up for £34
Disadvantages: price of carts

...ink jet printers seem to be the common solution to every home personal computers hard copy situation but buying a cheap printer can work out costlier in the long run. The problem is the cartrages. Even a cheap inkjet printer can be brought for about £40 squid and have quite a decent quality of print but cartrages range from £15 squid to up to £40 and if the whole family are using it on regualar basis they mightent last very long. There are also special paper to buy like glossy for photo's and options to put the printer into a different mode to specialize for photos so these can take up more ink then in draft mode, so its important to look at the whole perspective on what the printer is to be used for and cartridge price before getting one in....

Review of Inkjet Printers - Ink Jets

A GUIDE TO DIY INKJET REFILLS

Advantages: Save money!
Disadvantages: Need patience!

...Inkjet cartridges are very expensive, particularly so for Hewlett Packard printers, although I am sure that most makes of printer have equally expensive cartridges. You can get the Hewlett Packard printers at very competitive prices now, and I have a Deskjet 710c, which has been replaced by newer models, nevertheless I think it is a good quality printer, quiet, and the print quality is crisp and clear. The only downside to this printer for me, is the cost of new inkjet cartridges, and I do tend to run out fairly often, as I am always printing information which I find on the web, apart from the fact my grandchildren also like to print stuff too! The cost of a new HP cartridge is around £27 for a tri colour cartridge and £21 for a black cartridge. In an attempt to save money I purchased a recycled colour cartridge from PC World...

Good quality A3 Inkjet Printer

Advantages: Fast A4 & A3 printing, good quality from HP
Disadvantages: Large in size

...We purchased this at work predominently for printing our brochures and mailshot literature, and after a lot of research decided on this product from HP. The price was around £280 + VAT and delivery. We had always purchased HP products before, as they have proved themselves to be value for money as far as long service and reliability is concerned. This printer is available in three configurations; The CP1700 is a standard A3 inkjet photo quality printer; the CP1700d is the same model, but comes with a 'duplex unit' which enables you to print documents double sided; the CP1700ps is a 'postscript edition' that comes with 'Adobe Postscript' software and configuration. We purchased the CP1700d option, as when printing our brochures we like to print two sided, and it works very well. The paper tray holds a resonable amount of paper...

Review of HP Color Inkjet Cp1700

Top of the range inkjet - amazing printer

Advantages: Quick, amazing text quality, nice photo quality, computer doesn't have to be on to opporate, auto-alignment, the list goes on
Disadvantages: Bitch to install, no tools in windows toolbox, more suited to business environment

...The HP 2250 Business Inkjet is the latest innovation from HP. For those who don't already know, Hewlett Packard is the Coca-Cola of the printing world. If you've already read my reviews on the HP Laserjet 5L and the HP2000C, not only will you know my life story but you'll realise I wouldn't trust anyone else to provide my printing. Anyway, my old HP2000C broke down, was temporarily replaced by the devil himself (Laserjet 5L) and now I have finally been blessed with this miricle. The HP 2200 range is aimed at business users, but power freaks like myself will not be disappointed. The machine costs nearly £470, but it is the bees knees, and unless you can afford £3000 for a colour laser printer, or £800 for the HP2500, this is what you want. The price is steep, and I don't recommend it for those that need 'NICE' and 'SPEEDY' printing...

INKJET T041

Advantages: Good colour quality
Disadvantages: cost

...***INTRO*** I bought my Epson stylus CX3200 3 in 1 about 1 year ago because I really needed a scanner with photocopying facilities (see my review). The inks are expensive £20 for a replacement is not unusual. Surprisingly the colour (T041) is more expensive than black (T040). I used the photocopying facility a little too much and now my black ink cartridge is dry. Something to watch for. The colour cartridge/inkjet uses a combination of 3 colours, yellow, cyan, magenta QuickDry ink and is ideal for photo colour from a digital camera or scanner. ***USE*** The CX3200 comes with an instruction manual and advice on how to use the cartridges. It advises against opening the package before use (they come in a plastic sealed unit). The ink is toxic. The cartridge have an IC chip on the back do not touch this. The chip calculates...

Saving a fortune

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: A little messy sometimes

...I recently found myself buying a new printer after having simply gone to get a cartridge for my old printer. The reason for the new purchase was that it worked out CHEAPER, how crazy is that. I'm guessing that in these days of credit crunch and tighter purse strings there will be a few more who like me will try to save money on computer peripherals in several new and innovative ways. There is a way to save a substantial amount of money by refilling your old cartridge. There are quite a few manufacturers who now supply refill kits, but perhaps the most well known is JR Inkjet. The refill kits come in many shapes and sizes to accommodate most modern inkjet printers. You can purchase a simple black kit, which consists of a bottle of black ink a syringe and instructions on how to complete the refilling task...

Review of JR Universal Inkjet Refill

Simple Printing for Simple People!

Advantages: See below
Disadvantages: See below

...finish and more professional look. I’ve also managed to scan photo’s and re-produce onto photo paper, it produces a rather good quality image but can be a little expensive to do as it tends to use quite a lot of your printer cartridge and it takes ages. Be careful not to load too much paper into the machine as it will jam and everything stops immediately and lights on printer start flashing on and off, it’s easy to sort, simply remove the paper, re-load a smaller amount of paper and press the re-set button. It weigh’s around 1.8kgs and is rather bulky at just over 37cms wide by 21 cms deep, but it does the lighter user very well, produces good quality colour printing and is easy to maintain, because it’s a colour inkjet printer the images and colours produce sharp text and rich vibrant graphics that most...
