agst1967 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I have purchased a lot of Ebooks this year, so I am wanting a really efficient printer. THe one we have now just sucks the ink out and takes FOREVER to print! Any suggestions? TIA!! Alicia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aludlam Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I know many claim that laser is the way to go' date=' but honestly I have a Brother ink jet that is cheaper than a laser to operate and is in full color. If you find one that takes the LC-51 or LC-61 cartridges, you can buy them for about a buck each on amazon or ebay by buying generic ink in bulk. I just did a thing not too long ago, I posted about it on here, but I figured it was taking me less than a penny to print each page and that counted paper as well (which I only buy when I can get a whole case for $25 or less.. usually it's like $45 bogo at Staples if you watch for a sale).[/quote'] Ditto .... Brother "no name brand" cartridges are super cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been searching out the lasers, since my Canon inkjet needs nozzle cleaning and is printing unevenly. I'd be willing to go cheap yet, before the hefty color laser.

Aludlam Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Mine is a Brother MFC-465CN. I got it three or four years ago to use primarily as a copy machine. Now, I truly loved my laser which was a handmedowns, handmedown ... but after many years of use finally died. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be willing to link what ink you get? I have a Brother that uses LC61 and that would be awesome.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahRah Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have a Kodak ESP 7250 all-in-one....the ink is cheap and lasts quite a long time, even with lots of printing. The bonus (for me) is it also has a second tray for photo paper, so I can print photos too without having to change the paper in the tray and then change it back when I'm done.
