Best Printer: Canon, Epson or HP? 3k Maximum Budget

*C4Y, at 3k you can get any deskjet/inkjet. I recommend HP, any model just choose the highest resolutionn (dpi).

I had couple of deskjet printer and i can say they are not as reliable as laser. Ink is messy, dries, clogs, expires, costly.. So i decided to replace it with Laser and Canon Flatbed scanner, anyway i dont need to print color.. Unlike ink, ang toner kalugin molang pede pa magprint several pages.

I had bad experience thou in 3-in 1. Owned hp C5180, at first, ok performance naka network pa(w/ethernet port) then after 1.5yrs it decided to die.. Intermittent ang power. Nadala sa re-heating ng mainboard pero after a year, deadbol na talaga. Lessons learned - Pag nasira ang 3-in-1, 3 device din ang hindi mo magamit.

Pinaka reliable ko na printer Epson Lx300, kasing edad ko na yata yun pero still goin strong.

For the last couple of years,- HP printer gamit ko... Good experience for me....

Have been a patient Epson printer user for many years, - until 'it' ran out....

Using original ink cartridges....

Is this the dot matrix printer? We still have that at home. In my old job, that's what we use to print cheques.

It looks like HP is the most reliable brand of printer. I cannot afford laser kasi and I am sticking to my 3k budget talaga. Thanks everyone!

I had an Epson in between, yung BCMYK yung ink, mas sakit sa ulo dahil pag nawala ang isang kulay ayaw na magprint. Laging kumakain ng papel, bagal magprint, mahal pa ng ink (two sets of original ink could buy you a new printer). Ok siya iconvert to CIS, pero somehow di ko talaga gusto quality. Ilang beses kami finail ng printer na to. :D

The EPSON L110 has built-in continuous ink system. No need to have it converted by a 3rd party company. I have experienced less headache from this than from the cheap inkjet printer that we had converted with 3rd party CIS.

Mukhang na benta si C4U sa "Free P300 worth of Jollibee GCs" offer.

Anyway, good luck! The ink cartridges would probably last you 150 pages and how much do they cost? P390 each.

Is it that bad? My old Lexmark Printer can print several copies of a thesis and not run out of ink.

I'm not so much a fan of Jollibee, I like McDonalds more hehe

Makikijoin lang powwsss. Advisable ba mag3in1 printer (yung may kasama nang scanner) o bili ako na lang ako separate na scanner? Nagkaroon na kami ng apat na ganun, yung tatlo sira na. Haha.
