Best cheapest printer to purchase with cheap ink costs
Usually if the printer is cheap they make it up by ripping you off on the ink. Dell gives away their printers because they get you on the $40 cartridges. Lexmark has $29 printers which use $40 cartridges. So if you spend a little more on the printer, you’ll more than make it up in ink savings.
As someone who was in the computer hardware business for years (though I rarely sold printers since I couldn’t compete with the crazy rebates) I have always recommended Epson. The print quality is excellent, even on plain paper. I have photos I printed on a 640 about ten years ago hanging in my office which still look good, though not as good as the ones from the CX8400 on glossy paper. The warranty is excellent. For a year, Epson will express-ship a replacement and pick up the old one. I had one customer who needed this.
He called one afternoon and had the replacement two days later. Another client bought a Canon. It needed two repairs within a few months. Each time it was taken to the repair center, then picked up a few days later. This client runs a specialty printing business and this really hurt. They have since bought an Epson CX5000 and have had no down time since.
well we used 2 have that printer so we bought a new laser printer and that ones ink hasn’t finished yet (about 3 years)
Check out an Epson, I just got one. The ink price is very reasonable as well the the cost of the printer itself Very good quality prints too !!
hi the rules of printers 101-cheaper printers >higher link cost i think you will find as you go up in price— you find the cheaper your ink cost ,but this old printer goes Walgreen’s and refilled them for $ 5.00 for black , and $15.00 for color….good luck…….. miktill
Dell cartridges are a cornered market product. They are not available everywhere. Sounds like you might be better off buying a little HP desk jett printer, with a simple blackink jetet and a tri coloink jetjet. Contact me if you like, and I’ll give you sample pricink jet ink jet pricing for different printers. Maybe that will help.
