New Printer Reccomendation Wanted: Color & Quiet
I have an HP InkJet 5550 that I'm mostly happy with. Only problem is that sometimes (like now) I wake up in the middle of the night and work. And this thing makes so much noise with the head going back and forth and the paper handling, I feel like I'm waking-up the entire house. Any decent color printers being made that are quiet. I'd rather stick the the inexpensive ink-jets, but I suppose a laser, if not too expensive would be ok. Thanks, Gary |

I can't speak for other brands but most of Canon's inkjet printers have a "night mode" that makes them nearly silent. |

Canon IP4300 is quiet and can be made quieter by placing it in quiet
mode. You will loose some speed in that mode. Gary wrote: I have an HP InkJet 5550 that I'm mostly happy with. Only problem is that sometimes (like now) I wake up in the middle of the night and work.

Most canon printers have a quiet mode that can also be used during the day in offices where noise may be a factor as well. |

Thanks, Gary My ip3000 ( and current models as well I would assume ) have the Quiet Mode which can be customised Always use Quiet Mode Never use Quiet Mode or set times for Quiet Mode operation I can tell you that when it's operational....IT'S QUIET ALRIGHT! |
