Recommendations - Printer/Scanner

[aliwade]

Hi, everyone

We are looking for one of those All-In-One Printer/Scanner 'thingies'. I will be using it for printing stuff for cardmaking and scanning in piccies of cards, and hubby will use it for general document printing. The main thing is that it must be economical with printer cartridges (we have a Lexmark at the moment and the cartridges are really expensive). I am looking at one of the Brother machines in our Viking catalogue (we have a business account, so hubby can pay for it through the farm!) and that looks good.

Any recommendations?

I have always used Epson and find them good for printing photographic things. My current model is a over a year old, but is a scanner, copier and printer and cost £69. Toners can be bought more cheaply if you look around, but I am afraid that is always the expensive bit - that's why they can sell the printers so cheaply.

would highly recommend epsom have used them for years with no problems.
we invested in a ink feeding system which you just top up with ink when it gets low cost about £30 got it from computer fair have had it a year now and still got loads of ink left and use the printer nearly every day.
just a suggestion
but yeah epsom are cool

Personally I wouldn’t entertain a printer scanner as they tend not to do anything well and they can be quite large and clumsy.

Epson, HP and Canon are the market leaders and all three are capable of producing images of very high quality.
