Suggest 3-in-1 printer / scanner / copier for home use ...

So far it's a toss between a Canon G2000 or an Epson L220 ... any other options? ... Wi-Fi is not important ... concerned about these new ink tank systems since we don't print that much volume ... a tank will supposedly print 4,000 (Epson) to 6,000 (Canon) pages ... we print about 500 pages a year only ... will the ink in these systems expire when not used? ... they suggest we turn on and off the printer daily just so the ink won't dry up in the print head ...

Get a Brother printer. I got one after we realized our old HP printer's ink costs more than a printer.

It's already more than a year when we bought this and I still haven't bought a new set of ink. By the way I have 2 kids who prints a lot of reports and assignments.

The wifi connectivity is very useful specially if you have more than 1 computer at home.

Maybe you only need a scanner. Or better buy a separate scanner and printer.

OEM CISS (continuos ink system) is bang for the buck for those who print regularly.
We have the basic Epson L110 and it is really useful in printing kids assignments and reviewers. Sometime I print some ID pics and full size pictures.

The thing with any inkjet printer, you have to use it at least once a week to avoid clogging the print head.

If you have iOS devices, you might also want to consider Airprint support.

I have an HP LaserJet P1102w (b&w laser) that was originally for printing review/test papers for our children. I never thought I'd have a need for the AirPrint function until I realized how easy it was to print things like boarding passes or bills directly from my iPad. Printing from my Android phone is also quite simple and straightforward. No need to fire up the PC.

If there was a 3-in-1 printer with Airprint back then, I would've bought it.

We have the Canon G2000 at home while our office has the Epson L220. They basically have the same functions. My personal observations are:

1. Canon takes a longer start up time (for initial printing).
2. Canon produces better photoprints.
3. Epson prints and scans faster.
4. Both scanner beds are A4 sized only.

We choose the Canon for personal use since we print our photos at home. HTH.

HP has the printheads on the ink cartridge so dried up ink is not that big a problem.

Will check out Brother printers but the maybe the problem with Brother printers is the service network and ink availability ... not as good as Canon and Epson ...

We have Brothers 3n1 before really durable we just misused it and no maintainance done still it lasts for like 5 years.. the canon and HP we have the cheap model so its just fair we get what we paid for, it never last that long.. now at home we are using the Epson 3n1 with external ink tanks not sure about the model but its 2years na and really super tipid sa ink usage..

An HP ink that costs about 385-400+ will print about 400-500 pages ... an ink tank system of Canon or Epson will cost 250-295 can print about 4000-5000 pages ... so the Canon G2000 or Epson L220 will be a better value in the long run ...

there are some models that are already "modified" by third parties, to accept ink tanks. canon and brother yata... they are seen in some ink refiller stalls.

we do very few printings. we still make do with the ancient HP 1300 series. mahirap nang makahanap ng oem ink cartridges, so we make do with refills.
