Can someone tell me if I am better off getting a =A3100 laserjet or an
=A380 inkjet? A =A3100 laserjet might not be the most economical per page but odds are it'll be more so than a =A380 inkjet. Take the Brother HL 2030 for example. tn-2000 I believe =A340/2500pg or 1=2E6p/page -classic popular inkjet cartridges- Canon bci-3eBK =A39/500pg =3D 1.8p/page HP #45 large =A320/833 =3D 2.4p/page So as far as cost goes, looks like the brother actually costs less per page than two of the cheaper ink cartridges on the market. There are more economical lasers, but not typicaly new for under 100 quid. But as far as what's a good choice for you, without knowing what your application is it's hard to say. |

That depends: what kind of job would your new printer be doing mostly? If it's nearly all B&W like bullitin notes, mailing forms, etc, then the laser printer would be better since it's cheaper per page with toner than with ink. If there's going to require some color, especially photo printing, ink jet is generally better for this. -- When you hear the toilet flush, and hear the words "uh oh", it's already too late. - by anonymous Mother in Austin, TX To reply, replace digi.mon with phreaker.net |

If you get a b&w laser get a refillable one, as an idea have a
look at -: http://www.refilltoner.com/index.htm this will give you an idea what is easy to refill etc. I got A Samsung ML1510 for £54 inc. del. & 12 months warranty from Dabbs computers in Bolton (UK). The toner assembley is arounf £60, I got 3 refill bottles for £12 to date I have only used one of them, you can refill as long as the Drum is OK, these printers the toner unit contain the drum. The alternative is either a Canon ip4000 or ip5000, they use non-chipped tanks and they are clear as well as being easy to refill. they use 2 blacks a large pigment for text and a smaller dye photo back. The ip5000 has not clogged or wanted a manual nozzle clean since I bought it over 4 months ago..! The text is as good as the laser. Davy |
