Please recommend a printer and printer type for everyday office use as well as heavy card
Searching reveals this is talked about a lot here. So much discussion
is a little confusing so I'd be grateful for some up-to-the-minute advice and recommendations from people who've tried a few printers and are happy with what they now use. Also for a little laser vs inkjet vs anything else instruction. We need to be able to print everyday stuff as well as, frequently, onto heavier card (usually recycled matt finish) at 300 g/sm or heavier. If things go well we'll be printing medium to large quantiies onto card. We use Macintosh computers. My guess is that we should consider a laser (but it is a guess). We've always had relatively inexpensive inkjets and I am not completely clear about the advantages and disadvantages regarding our current requirements of injet over laser or another technology. I am also guessing that we need a printer that has the option of straight-through feed to help it handle the card. We don't need to go bigger than A4. Ideally I'd be looking to spend no more than £300 - £500 (US$550 - 900). But since many printers seem very inexpensive compared to what the used to be, perhaps we will have to spend much less. (Consumables especially ink/toner prices is where the money seems to be made - so running cost is an issue, too.) Advice and recommendations will be much appreciated. D |

We would need to be able to load up to 50 at a time to make it sustainable ie not have to stand over the printer. Grateful for you input so far. How varied do these get? Quite varied at the moment How large a quantity of each are you thinking? between 20 and 150 at a time. Maybe more maybe less. Would it not be better off to get them commercially printed? yes, I hope so, if the product takes off. Right now it's a pilot/prototype. Cheers D |
