What's a good, cheap, compact printer?

Whats the Best printer to get that is cheap on ink?

  • I recently run out of ink. I have a HP deskjet 940c printer ive had it for about 7 to 8 years now and its been brilliant but the price on ink for it is so expensive. ive tried refilling the inks with refil kits followed all instructions and the cartriges didnt stop leaking i had nothing but mess with all the ink. ive looked in tesco and i quite fancy an epson sx125 i noticed it uses individual ink cartriges wich seem to be a lot cheaper. and the printer is a reasonable price. but if anyone has any other suggestions.

  • Answer:

    I am surprised that no one has mentioned Kodak. In my country (U.S.A.), Kodak printers have the lowest ink prices in the industry. You can buy one at Best Buy. Even the lowest (cheapest) model is excellent. I believe if you invest in a Kodak printer you will be pleasantly surprised, and when you see the price they are asking for the ink to use in it, you will be even more pleased.

What I do is I go to Wal Mart. They'll typically have a low-end printer that costs LESS than the ink. When the ink runs out? Another new low-end printer is cheaper than replacing that ink.

epson's are good, but I recommend you calculate the cost per page of the ink cartridges. Go online to www.ds.net.au and put the model number of the printer in. (or if it is not listed Google the cartridge number and the word yield. divide the retail price by the number of pages (ie $20 / 365 pages = $0.054 cents per page) do this for the blacks and one of the colours and you get the cost per page. Something to assess is that a printer like the epson range are calculating at about 5 -7 cents per page. The HP Pro 8500 is a ripper of a machine that has more expensive cartridges but they are HUGE and they cost out at 2 cents a page. (four inks, approximately $30 - 40 but 1200 pages for the black and 900 for the colours.) finding out the cost per page will let you EXACTLY compare apples with apples when wanting to know how much printers cost to print. Note also that all page yields are industry standard of 5% of the page. That is about the amount you will print if you write me a standard letter If you could fold a page 20 times (and you can't :)) one square is 5 % of the page. the ink on the letter is would fill that square. If you print a lot of photos or full colour pages (images), or lots of bold black section of the page, your cost per page will skyrocket.

Brother and Kodak inkjet printers will be the cheapest and less hassle since the cartridges dont clog as much as HP. Lexmark and Dell will be the worst. Check out the votes for most "refill friendly printer" at http://blog.123refills.com
