Looking for a new printer, last time university time the CISS mod for Canon printers are popular because the ink are super cheap, these days hardly see one of these anymore. Wanna ask whether they have been superseded by cheaper models? Or original inks are actually decent in price now that no point getting a CISS mod

Nowadays ppl use ink tank printers ala Canon G-series or Epson L-series or Brother DCP-series

Why get mod which always have problem

Where there already have system that come with ciss system the could flush, clean the print head and clear bottom roller?

Although price higher but you spare to always change cartridge cause by dryer ink and chip limit

Look for Canon /epson

Ohh nice, so they are like CISS but built in by the manufacturer?

The inks also cost as cheap as the CISS price last time? like rm 10 per bottle that can last for years.

Nowadays as cheap as 1.50-3

BTW, still need to use all 4 color monthy to prevent fully clogged

Both cmyk print can cost around 300 for both print head

Cheers, how much should I expect for the printer price? Lazada selling around 500-600 kinda expensive

only good if u print a lot. but if u dont print much then get a normal inkjet. or if u want cheaper printing get a color laser printer. printer might cost more but the toner is cheaper long run

Last time university time, no money to buy proper ciss.
Now working adult already, just buy the proper ciss. Brother, Epson got.

Hmm yeah TBH don't print a lot, actually looking for a scanner for job purpose but might as well buy one with printer

Does laser printer toner degrade if you don't print much?

Depend on what your requirement

Print only around 400
AIO With wifi around 600-800
AIO With wifi+ fax 800

I would recommend epson
Canon tend to dry faster with clog more

Pls check specification if you need to print above 140gsm paper or print on paper sticker
Some ver have problem print on 50gsm paper

I would recommend direct bought on local shop if your area don't have service center.

Heat Roller might damage if you print too much at same time like few hundred pages
Rubber roller might harden if you didn't print for a long time.
Cheap if you print black only for long term
Roller ain't cheap to replace which require to send pc shop/service center.

Some government document require you to use laser print or photocopier only

Get any Brother printer will do.

nowadays it's integrated into the printer, it's still the same thing

but really depends how much u print

nope laser printer toner dont degrade. also they are not ink so they dont dry up. they are like dusts

Inkjet sucks. Always clogged when not used frequently.

Prefer colour laser but the refills cost more than the printer itself.

In the end, buy those inkjet printer with a control panel in front. Just push the print test page every 2 weeks.
