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....

SAVE MONEY on inkjet cartidges

Advantages: Saves a lot of money
Disadvantages: Takes a bit of time, can be messy!

...I feel that there is a conspiracy going on. No, I don;t mean the one about area 47, Roswell and those little green men, or the true whereabouts of Lord Lucan, or whether Elvis really was seen in Sainsbury?s in Bournemouth high street last weekend, this is a bigger conspiracy altogether. I?m sick and tired of paying extortionate costs for something as simple as a cartridge for my printer! I don?t know who came up with the idea of refill cartridges, but they are laughing all the way to the bank, and so are the manufacturers, who are really raking in the cash. Printer cartridges are designed to be thrown away when the ink runs out, and you are supposed to buy a whole replacement cartridge, made by the same company that manufactured your printer (a nice little earner eh!) for up to £30 each time. Wow, that?s a lot of cash these...

HP D1470 Inkjet Printer.

Advantages: Very cheap, durable, and excellent for the amateur computer user.
Disadvantages: Tray a little too small, and a few issues with packing the tray with paper.

...I bought the D1470 on special offer in Argos several months ago for £19.99, the current price on promotion being £18.74 (as of the 9th February 2008), although my local store is having difficulty getting the item into stock again (the predecessor, D1460 is available on Amazon just shy of £24). Again, home delivery options are apparently limited with the item currently out of stock in their distribution centre, so be prepared to be disappointed. Ebay auctions are available, but you will be looking at between £25 - £29.99. Typical ink cartridge prices (genuine HP) are currently £12.89 in Argos for black, and £16.99 for colour (this printer taking the standard 2 cartridges, not the mixers in other printers). The D1470 is unabashedly marketed as a budget printer, but is, however, an excellent printer for the price, even close to...

Review of HP Deskjet D1470 Inkjet

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...

Dell photo printer 720

Advantages: Size, cheap
Disadvantages: Paper intake, expensive cartridges, slow

...I bought this Dell printer several months ago when my old printer broke down. I have never really needed to print much (only the occasional essay or B-day card), so I decided to go for this cheap Dell 720 photo printer. I looked for the cheapest printer I could find and I believe this one cost between £30-35 on the Dell website. I have just checked on the website and I don?t think they even sell this version anymore. A newer version the ?Dell 725? has replaced the 720 and is now the cheapest model that Dell sells in the UK (at £35). I ordered the printer on the website and everything from payment to delivery went very smooth (as you might expect from such a big company). IN THE BOX: The Dell photo printer 720 2 Inkcartridges: 1 Black Standard Capacity Cartridge and 1 Tri- color Standard Capacity Cartridge (Cyan...

Review of Dell Colour Printer 720**- Affordable Inkjet Solution

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...

dell printer that prints dell... i mean well

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Hard to find cartridges, and expensive

...-Introduction- I got this printer for my Christmas a couple of years ago now. I got it free with my computer (see other review) and I really cant complain. It has done me well for school projects and just printing stuff. I have never used it to print photos but it does say that it is a photo quality printer on the label. -Getting started- It is easy to connect up via a USB cable supplied and a power supply, also supplied. It takes about 3 minutes to install on to the computer via an automatic installation, cant remember if a CD is required but if it is its included. It is really easy to put cartridges in place, Full instructions on how to. -Instructions- The instruction manual is like most dell information, detailed and easy to follow with lots of pictures and easy to follow diagrams. It includes setting up, adding cartridges...

Review of Dell Colour Printer 720**- Affordable Inkjet Solution

How to save a frtune on running your inkjet printer (nearly all makes!)

Advantages: see text
Disadvantages: see text

...It is all very well getting a good printer for around £75, but you could have spent more than that on Epson (or other make) cartridges by the time you have colour printed 4 reams of paper (4 replacements). First tip: print in black, even for colour stuff, when you are just doing drafts. Second tip: if you must buy cartridges, get the compatibles - they contain the same amounts of ink but are less than half price. Third tip: be brave, refill them! Go to http://www.inky-fingers.co.uk/ and they will send you a free guide book. If you want to experiment, order the £3.99 syringe of black ink - it comes with instructions, needle, ink, everything. It is less than one tenth of the cost of Epson Cartridges....
