Advantages: Great customer services
Disadvantages: jp192 needs to be improved

...I recently bought a olivetti jp192 at staples warehouse. After six weeks it became faulty with the paper going into the printer at an angle which caused the paper to jam due to one of the rollers not working. I rang up staples about the printer, They told me to ring up olivetti which I done. I explained to customer servies about my fault on the printer, They told me to take all the leads out and the ink printhead, A courrier will bring you a replacement out and collect your faulty printer tomorrow. They arrived the day they said they would.I was very pleased how olivetti customer servives handled my complait.Its a pitty that the printer wasn't as good as it's customer services. The printer needs to be improved to stop faults from happening, I am not the only person that has a faulty Olivetti jp 192.... Read review

Advantages: basic
Disadvantages: basic

...Olivetti JP192 black/mono printer is a cheap to buy printer, that is lightweight and easy to use. I got it for just under £55 on sale. The ink, however, is a different matter, being well over £20 a cartridge/printhead. Also on the down side is the print quality and lack of convenience. Only one printhead can be used at a time, so the colour or black that is taken out must be stored in the little container provided, and you must keep changing them as needed. Although this process does only take a minute, and is very obvious and easy to do. The printing is slow, and the colour images produced are very poor at times. I did not get this printer looking for superior print quality. I just wanted a cheap printer that would hopefully be cheap to run and to replace when the time came. It is mostly for text printing; essays and the like... Read review

Advantages: Reliable call answering with built in answerphone
Disadvantages: Paper handling leaves a lot to be desired

...The BT Paperjet 60 is a fax machine with built in answerphone and can be used as a basic A4 photocopier. FEATURES This machine offers good quality inkjet printing with a 40 sheet feeder. If you run out of paper while receiving a fax, up to 21 pages will be stored in the momory and automatically printed when new paper is added. This is very useful if you have a few days off! Can also be used to make single or multiple copies of documents and has enlarge and reduce features on the copying function. There are one touch and speed dial memory options on the telephone. Comes with a starter print cartridge that lasted us approx 300 pages of faxes. The replacement cartridges from BT are very expensive, but this fax machine is identical to an Olivetti version which uses the same print cartridges. The Olivetti cartridges are a lot... Read review

...PC World, what a joke im sorry to say. I first went there some years ago when I didnt know too much about computers, and after leaving I felt confused and unhappy with their knowledge and service. I bought a PC from Comet. It was an olivetti 233mhz and cost £1300 back then. I was into playing games on the PC and the 2mb graphics card that was in the system was far from adequate. The graphics card was one that was built into the motherboard, and not one you could take out and upgrade. So I went to my local friendly PC World where I would get all the help I needed, or so I thought. I ended walking out with a Graphics card that cost £130. So I got home all excited at my latest purchase, and started to fit the card. It fitted perfectly into the pci slot. Anyway I turned on my PC, and in short, it didnt work. I took it back...

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

.... All the popular makes such as Lexmark, Epson, Hewlett Packard, Canon, Olivetti etc and most printer types are covered, even the newer models such as the Lexmark Z32+52, Epson 580 and Canon B400. For most cartridges all you need to do is cover the ink outlet holes with some adhesive tape and squirt the ink through the filler hole, ensuring you use the correct colour ink in the correct hole or you may end up with some rather intesting colours in your photographs! On a few cartridges you may have to drill a small 3mm hole to inject the ink through. Although this may seem a little daunting, you can buy a Starter Kit from JR that includes a little drill. Handy eh! Also, don’t worry if you’re cartridge is not listed. The instructions are constantly updated and new cartridges being added. Go to their website at www.ink jet.co.uk to see... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, good colour printing, easy to buy carts
Disadvantages: Takes ages to start up, poor DOS support

...I've had this printer for about a year now, and am pretty happy with it. The major attraction was the Epson name, with which you can be pretty sure you're not buying junk. For such a cheap printer, colour printing is surprisingly good, even on fairly cheap paper. Mind you, I'm comparing it to my awful old Olivetti, which didn't have a separate black ink nozzle, and just mixed up the other three colours... By far the most annoying feature of the 440 is the interminable wait for it to start up. It makes all the usual whirrs and grinds you expect when a printer does it's head-cleaning act, but it goes on, and on, and on. I've never timed it, but it feels like eternity. Still, if you're still awake after all that, you'll find that it's a nice little machine. It does its job efficiently and without fuss, and doesn't get stuck. Black... Read review

Advantages: Cheaper
Disadvantages: Can be messy

.... The refill kit will last up to 6 refills and when you only pay £10.00 for a box and you have to pay around £15 for a single use ink cartridge you can certainly make your money go a little further. They recommend that after at least 6 refills you should purchase new ink cartridges. These kits are suitable for most leading makes of printers such as Epson, Canon, Hewlett Packard, Lexmark, Olivetti and Xerox. You have to make sure that you follow the instructions very carefully as if you make a mess it is near on impossible to remove the ink from you carpet. If you get it on your skin the only thing I found that removed it was good old fashioned bleach, so its is advisable if you are slightly butter fingered lay plenty of old papers down and wear gloves. Inside the kit you are supplied with very detailed instructions, inks, syringe, blut... Read review
