What is the best, cheapest printer with cheap ink?

Best Cheap / Low Ink Usage Printer?

  • I have been noticing that i've been printing more then usual with school, work and more. I have an old Lexmark Printer that uses too much ink. The refills are very expensive, about 30 bucks for black & white. I'm just looking for a printer that is low in price. Small if possible and does not use lots of ink. Just to inform you i'm just printing out papers, essays. Stuff along those lines nothing like a full web page. And the ink goes so fast. I don't know anything about printers so can someone please help me? I was looking into the Kodak printers with a low ink cost but i don't know if there any good. I don't want nothing fancy.. just something to print papers with low ink consumption and cheap ink.

  • Answer:

    You might want to consider laser printer. I switched to laser printer and I would never go back to ink. HP LaserJet P1102W is among the top 20 business laser printer and it costs only $88. You can get remanufactured toner for $39 and it has the page yield of 1600 pages. That is $0.02 per page.

try a printer from HP. the ink seems to last me and my wife for a while and you can buy replacement cartridges that are recycled on Ebay for about 1/2 the cost of the new ones

If you need to print in colour, get a printer that has separate colours so you can change the colour of ink that is depleted. Most HP ink cartridges have 3-4 colours together. Once you run out of one, you have to throw away all of them.... a waste. If you can do by printing in black and white, why not get a laser printer with a cartridge that can be filled. Look for your local cartridge shops to find out which models are abundant and how much the toners cost before you buy a printer.

If it has to be ink jet, go with a brother, and buy a CIS(continuous ink system) off of ebay. THe printer will run about 100, and with the CIS, you'll get down to about $0.002 per page(estimated), the cis will run about 35-50. If you just need black and white. buy a used laser on ebay. they will run about 50+, and you can get refills for about 8-15 give or take. or new cartridges for between 15-80(refurb to oem) and get about 3-6000 pages per cartridge.

If you only print things in black & white, I'd suggest a cheap laser printer. They tend to cost more initially, but they're faster, have better quality, and the toner refills are much cheaper (still around $30-40, but they last a few thousand pages instead of 4-500). This one looks pretty good and cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Brother-Printer-HL-2220-Monochrome/dp/B004IZN3FW/ref=zg_bs_172648_9

Stay with Lexmark. They now have a printer that sells for less than 100 and the ink cartrages are less than 5 dolllars. Right now, due to their bankruptcy, Bestby may be your better deal.
