brother printer???

[mbeige]

The key is parts availability. Kung wala pa sa Pinas, risky yan. Stick with common brands. Here in the US we have a Brother telefax, Office Depot is 10mins away. No problems naman. HP rin we have no problems.

Pili ka rin ng model na tamang tama lang yung features dahil kung unnecessary, mamahal talaga. And if you get one na mamahalin yung parts like ink cartridge, it's not a good deal unless sobrang ganda rin ng print quality na it offsets the high purchase price of parts.

For what purpose ba? General office lang? Glossy photographs? Print ads? Posters?

OT: Isn't it odd na when you buy a printer new, may kasama na ink. Pero when you buy ink na bago, masmahal pa sa cheapest printers (na may ink na)?

at least pag epson, canon or hp.. may mga nabibiling murang ink.. yang Brother.. wala.. bili ka talaga nang original.. eh ang mahal mahal.. ka presyo na nga nang bagong printer..

so hinde niyo marerecomend ang brother, I'm also planning to but the 4 in 1 model, ano ba talaga mas ok HP or brother, 1k+ lang naman ang difference kaso yun brother build in na ang mga cards reader, so parang mas ok, yun ink niya madali ba makabili?

I dont really recommend 4 in 1 printers unless there is limited table space. Usually the cost of consumables (measured in number of pages per cartridge) make it not worth it.

In our office, we use a HP Laserjet 1010 for document prints and an Epson C67 for color prints. We're pretty happy with them.

Me too im using Epson C67+continuous ink flow system no more problem on ink refills..98cents/ml of ink

the purpose of the 4 in 1 is for general office uses lang dito sa bahay, dahil minsan di talaga maiwasan na mag fax kahit gabi na, and at the same time para mabawas naman ang cluter dito sa home office namin, masyadong maraming wires na nakalatag bec of the scanner, fax, printer..... tapos outdated na itong fax namin sharp masyadong malaki....

btw, buti hinde ko pa binili yun brother last weekend, mahal pala ang ink, g*g# talaga yun salesman dyan TCA ba yun, sabi sa akin mas mura daw ang ink ng brother dahil unlike hp daw pag bumili ka ng ink kasma pati yun head? pag brother daw ink lang talaga ang sabi pa niya 300+ lang daw ang ink... buti brochure lang kinuha mura....
I'm planning to buy yun HP5610 or brother 215c

ito pa pala stupid question, yun fax mode ba pwede ka makreceive and send kahit naka off ang PC mo? particularly doon sa HP?

Not all the time... sinusunod pa rin ang industry practice na cheap printer, high cost of consumables OR expensive printer but cheap cost of consumables... better to buy the mid-range to top printers in terms of price kasi cheap ang consumables nito... and besides mas matagal ang mga service life ng mid-range to hi-end printers...

Always check in a 4 in 1 printer na dapat flatbed ang scanner, mas better kung may fax function, at syempre individual ink tanks.

Standard industry practice din that the ML content of those packaged with the printer ay 25-50% lesser when compared to the retail inks... For example a retail ink prints 400 pages... yung bundled na ink nung printer prints 100 pages...


Recommendation: Stick with HP... they are transparent in providing information on how much ink they have per cartridge... Epson talaga walang kwenta... I think Canon is starting to change and provide more infomation on the ink contents of their cartridges...

mag-HP ka na lang. the best yun. I've tried both canon and epson inkjets.

balik HP pa din ako whether all-in-one or laser printer. all-in-one sa bahay, laser sa office.

[userfriendly]

had an all in one before never bothered again! total waste of money.

i'm an ex-hp printer user 4 10 years.the problem w/hp is dat they've change their ink tanks, for me its too small 4 refilling.epson is a tanker if it comes to it's ink cartridge very much suitable 4 continuous ink flow kits+better print quality.4 in 1 printers are good.....gud 4 displays.anyone here ever tried to refill their hp cartridges???they are not too transparent about their ink coding if u know wat i'm talking about! u have to use a tissue paper or coupon bond to know the exact coding thats y noobies in ink refilling usually mess up their ink cartridges.

mabilis daw maubos yung ink/toner. got one in our office (all in 1 type). we'll see kung tatagal. pero mga brother fax machines, ok naman.
