URGENT: printers . . .

[gardenmom5]

I have less than an hour to come up with a printer. or dh's is going to  run out and buy one.  (and he buys almost entirely on price.)

 

print/fax/copy color.  preferably under $100 (costco is always good).

ink . . . . .

I talked him into sticking with canon. . .

he was looking at a HP.  I priced the cartridges . . . :eek:  no, thanks.  they truly use henry ford's business  model.  sell cheap - and make  your money on parts.

there was a great, very highly rated brother - with just one deal killer of a flaw.   no document feed.  so, you hand feed the thing for scanning or faxing.

Our Printer is a *very* low end Epson.  It does a great job with printing. Possibly more important to us is that it also does a great (wonderful) job as a Scanner. We bought it several years ago.    GL with whatever you buy!

he  works from home - it has to be able to lot-feed-fax.  the one thing he doesn't use the all-in-one's for,  is printing. he has a fast b & w laserjet that has much cheaper cartridges.  but it only prints.

Has he considered doing his work in a more modern way?  For example, Scanning the pages and then sending them via email, would result in the recipient getting  much higher quality images.  Or, Scanning them and Uploading them to DropBox or some other Cloud storage, where the recipient (only) would have access.  Also, he might Scan the pages and then send them via an Online FAX service (possibly FaxZERO.com or some other provider?).   For many years, we had a FAX machine in our house, but I think the last time I sent a FAX, via a FAX machine,  was about 5 years ago.  There might be ways that he can reduce his use of paper and ink and the recipient(s) receive higher quality images?

He's sending to a dept - not an individual. it has to be a paper copy. He's not sending it snail mail. That is the other option.

Go with a laser, so much cheaper.

that's what I ordered.  this will be our third canon.  I appreciate four *individual* color cartridges.

he has one for just printing, but they generally don't scan/fax/copy.
