As most of you know im a poor student and those who dont do now.

Im looking for a cheap to run printer,in term of cartridges/refills that i can for as cheap as possible,
I dont mind an inital semi-high startup cost as long as it going to workout cheaper.Ive seen so many of those cheap printers thrown in with laptops deals and whatnot that cost about 40 quid a refil for cartridges.

hope you can help recommend me a decent one

Much love

:salute: :salute:

If you dont need colour in your printed documents, some laser printers offer exceptional value for money.

right bongo thanks but i dont quite understand waht you are saying.like always

so this looks like a printer but where are these £5 cartridges ive looked and seems mostly around 10 quin minumum for black.
http://www.cartridgeshop.co.uk/epages/c ... xma-ip2600

i dont quitte understand these easy refil kit things.do i need to buy the ink separately
why are they different from just buying the cartridges.Do they use lower quality ink or something

also bondgo how many cartridges do these things usually have.and if i run out of colour can i still continue to print in black because i have heard of some printers stop priniting untill all cartridges have ink in them

Icebaby can u recommend any cheap laser printers?

use your fcking hand to write ,,,thats what its there for

lazy college kents

bet youve got a large ill fitting cardigan

just look at the printer you think you want .type in its name in google add cartride to the end for its price .simple realy

thats why you a student .your supposed to learn

tesco had some hp photosmartsc4480 going a while back for under £30 ..i picked one up and its perfect for all jobs.has stand alone photo printing with lcd and photo copying..cartridges £10.00 a piece but i refill me blacks anyway

note::: most injet will only do around 100 prints//lasers will do 1000 but toners cost £45.00(price ive seen for most dont take my word,, look ,,) and up
if its only for print work/written documents and not family photos go monochrome laser (b/w)

b/w mono chrome laser printer
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148076

as for colour the choice is yours
note from what ive read about lasers is you get a starter cartride this is half the output of the retail toner cartridge you,d buy 800 sheets it says in one review

read review in above link for wireless colour laser printer

another place to look is ebay for laser printers but tread carfully and mainly look for ex office equipment
