Yung laser printers ang mahal ng cartridge. If printer lang very competitive with inkjets. Pero once you run out of toner, presyong printer na. For the colored ones, multiply several times pa. Note that number of prints per cartridge sa laser vs ink is not even near competitive. Kung cost of entry at price per page lang panalo pa rin ink jet. If you would still opt to go the laser printer route for low end, best yung monochrome if acceptable ang limitation. Sa inkjet, pag orig ink, pigment yan mostly if hindi ciss. Oil based. So no need to worry about it drying out and clogging. If concern pa din at sigurista, place the printer away from direct sunlight/cool location away from windows. Resistant din sa smudges. Ang natutuyo yung dye na water based. Canon nasa cartridge ang print head kaya mahal. Hp too if im not mistaken. Epson ang print head separate sa cartidge. Same sa Brother. So if inkjet route, i'd suggest epson.

The problem with inkjets eh you have to use it constantly. Nakakailang inkjet na kami na pag di nagamit ng ilang buwan eh natutuyo ang ink at bumabara at nasisira. it's like we are spending 3k to 4k every time we need to print.

Turn on the printer 3 times a week ... plus it needs to be plugged in so there is electricity that keeps that inks moist ...

Not all models ... only the cheaper, lower end models have their print heads along with the ink cartridges ... higher models have separate heads ... the ink cartridges of higher models are cheaper ...

Just my monthly statements because my bank doesn't send paper bills anymore.

Just store them in the cloud ... Google Drive and iCloud ... if you want, also save a copy on Yahoo and Gmail ... that way you have multiple backups ... they're free anyway ...

I'm technologically challenged, I don't know google drive and iCloud but I really prefer the hard copy and my Mom also wants the hard copy. Hassle na rin kasi to request the bank for a hard copy and now they want me to pay for it

Yup. Budget is 3k max so definitely lower end.

HP at Epson pa lang nasusubukan ko. SO far mas maganda features nang HP sa same class na 3 in 1 printers. Pero mas reliable at so far mas matipid yung Epson. Hindi din siya kumakain nang papel unlike HP na kapag newsprint gamit ko, minsan madami ang nasasama bawat printing. Hassle.

Technician nang mga printers nakausap ko na sa continuous type pf printers, less problems daw ang mga Epson.

Sirs parecommend naman ng multifunction printer:

- low volume printing; i hardly print anything except when i need to file application/documents
- low cost ink replacement
- print head doesn't get clogged up due to non-usage
- normal size paper
- 5k or below
- WiFi is ideal but optional


i'm leaning towards HP, but am open to try those with individual ink cartridges. Basta dapat lalabas na mas mura yung ink replacement. Thanks

i have a brother dcp-j100 .
it has individually replace-able ink cartridges.
coming from a 3-in-1 hp with very small integrated ink cartridges, this new one is very cheap to use.

Brother printer owners, could you give an assessment of their printers (quality and durability)?

Been thinking of getting a MFP (printer, scanner, copier) for a small office I put up with a friend. Right now we are using space from a serviced office provider. Brother seemingly has good prices. I don't know lang regarding the price of their ink cartridges.

Will be using it for office documents and marketing collateral.

Thanks!

Usually ...

Low priced printers -> Expensive ink cartridges ...
Higher priced printers -> Cheaper ink cartridges ...

Inkjet printers will clog up if unused ... Turn it on daily and print something weekly ...

sorry for the OT...

Sa mga naka Laser printer.

Nagbabara din ba sya (like ink jet) kapag matagal na hindi nagamit?
(matagal = 6 months++)

AFAIK, from my experience with our office printer, the toner dries up. Parang sa photocopier.
