QUOTE(BL98 @ Sep 29 2023, 10:53 PM) With the price might as well get a inktank inkjet printer. The cost of ink is even lower, and you get to use color just in case. Inktank printer comes with its own problems, especially if you don't use often. For my canon inkjet, it's the waste ink pad replacement, blocked printheads and air pocket in the ink hoses. You can DIY to rectify them but it's still a chore. For laser printers, it practically is maintenance free. I have both at home. |

QUOTE(Oltromen Ripot @ Sep 30 2023, 08:16 AM) "home" use. My mono Canon laser printer is 10 years old. I have been using 3rd party toners after the starter toner ran out of "ink". No error or incompatibility issue. Some toner may cause streaks after a while (only experienced this once) but replacement toner is RM20 thereabout jer.I switched from HP colour laser (m251n i think, 2010 or earlier) due to now-unreliable mechanical (gear inside will fail at boot, at random) AND becoming-too-expensive for new toner, reaching RM4xx/colour. this printer now relegated to focus b&w-only, if it decides to play. no double-side printing, need module add-on. Switched to Canon LBP623cdw colour laser, as that was the double-side model immediately available in Penang retail market during MCO in 2021. yeah, by then, already learnt double-side is a must for heavy-duty "home" printing. But damned, i check just now in Shopee, toner 054H is already reaching RM4xx/colour as well.... I am not a fan of 3rd-party refilled toner. I had been using original toners, right until the HP starts acting up with its gears at random. Starting the HP printer is playing roulette; will it reach "Ready" state or will it error. My experience with using refilled, 3rd-party toner with the HP in the last 2 replacements was not encouraging. Maybe because I order through Shopee, and still haven't found a reliable brand and supplier. I will not do that with the Canon. -- I don't like AIO devices. HP m251 - printer only. HP m251n - LAN port HP m251nw - LAN port, Wifi Canon LBP623cdw - LAN port, wifi |

QUOTE(BL98 @ Sep 30 2023, 09:26 AM) Epson ads say inkjet is more eco friendly as it consume less electricity and also their print head very durable. Do expect to encounter issues every now and then. You'll need to learn to clear print heads by soaking them in warm water or clear air lock in the print heads (ink won't flow from tank to cartridge via pipe) by manually injecting ink into the cartridge to prime it.They even have copier sized machines using inkjet tech. So I guess the technology for inkjet is better now? |
