I wouldn’t usually post, but as it’s been nearly an hour without reply I thought OP could do with a bump, even if it’s just people telling me I’m wrong.
It’s part of my job to recommend IT equipment to people, anything from a mouse to a completely new network.
We will not, ever, not once – recommend or sell a printer.
They are all crap, they all break, the ink will always cost a fortune, you’ll never buy more than 2 sets because by then it will be broken. Buy whatever is on special offer, or find a way to do away with physical documents if you can.
In my office we use about the best of a bad bunch – it’s a Xerox ColorQube solid ink printer it too big for home use. It takes an age to warm up for the first print, but after that it’s very quick, makes excellent quality prints quickly and efficiently – the solid ink comes in blocks of wax, not cartridges which massively reduces waste. They’re expensive to buy, but cheap to run and should have taken the market by storm – but the market seems see the cost of everything and the value of nothing so buy cheap machines that are expensive to run and break down a lot, so they’re not popular. The printer only version is £400ish, a 3-1 is thousands.
