Ink vs. Laser - professional advise is needed
photo-alexk wrote: Hi guys, Thank you for all your comments. Considering the amount of printing I do (~100-200 mostly BW text A4 pages per year) I guess an inkjet printer of a reasonable quality will cost half of an entry level BW laser's price. Richard, thank you for pointing out that HP inkjets have the printing head embedded in the cartridges. You are thanking him for not giving you all of the information. Many HP inkjet printers but not all have an embedded print head built into the cartridge. Others have replaceable printheads but the ink tank is separate. The costs of the replacement ink should be investigated since the combined head and cart probably costs more. I believe a simlpe replacement of the cartridge should solve all clugging problems in HPs, so I'll start shopping for an HP . Best Alex |

Seems like I need to investigate HP more before making the purchase. Thanks for the tip. Best Alex |

I believe a simlpe replacement of the cartridge should solve all clugging problems in HPs, so I'll start shopping for an HP . It's not just replacing the cartridge, but ... I wonder what else is required in this case? Good used HP inkjets can be had dirt cheap. I paid $5 each for an 850c (old but good.), a newer, faster, stronger 970c, and a Photosmart (model forgotten). I'm presently using a 940c that my ex gave me. All the last ... Is this cool or what? Unfortunately we don't have WORKING printers for $5 where I live. It costs me $4 for gas and $4 for bridge toll, I get printers for virtually nothing, the manager likes me, and I get to shmooze with the cats. All very happy. I'll have to pay ~$1k for a transatlantic flight, $50-100 for a taxy, etc... Best Alex |

It cheeses me too, that someone in some technologically "rich" part of the world thinks that everybody else can get the same deal they do, that they literally throw our recent printers, computers, etc, or stockpiles are available cheap, just becasue they are "old". That isn't true where I am, nor likely where you are. |

ups.com... Hmmm. Seems like I need to investigate HP more before making the purchase. Any of the current and past HP Deskjet models have integrated printheads and ink supplies. With your printing needs of a few hundred mostly B&W text pages per year even a printer with the small supplies like the 21/22 or 91/92 could meet your needs. The small supplies are typically cheaper but only good for a couple hundred pages, which could match your needs well. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging |

That isn't true where I am, nor likely where you are. As the Cheeser In Chief, I envy you. With your free webmail address, I have no idea where you are. I wrote my post as a tip for the OP, and an inspiration to others. If you could use it, fine -- if not, well, maybe you can get a great deal on bangers. I love bangers, but I have to pay a high price for them here. It might cheese me to know that you can enjoy eating them constantly, being in a banger-rich part of the world. One man's printer is another man's cheese. Perhaps you can't pick up used printers as cheaply as I can (only at that one thrift shop -- they're much more expensive at others). But I'll bet that you're pleasantly blessed in other ways where you live. For one thing, your country hasn't been stolen, your democracy hasn't been ripped to shreds, by Bush, Cheney, and their cabal of cronies. Now that I've "cheesed" you, please tell me what "cheesing" is so that I might be in on it. I'll now leave you with these words of wisdom: Gary: LIGHTEN UP! |

I've ordered an HP F4180 which works with 21/22 or 54/57 if I need to increase the number of printings. Best alex |
