My current inkjet is on its last legs and I'd like to replace it with something that's a bit cheaper to run. I'm self employed, so the printer is for my small home office - it'll just be used for printing quotes/invoices/text only reports etc., so I don't really need colour. Friend suggested getting a laser printer, but I don't have a clue about them (and current workload means I haven't got time to research 'em).
Can anyone recommend a decent printer please?
p.s. if it's cheap, that'll be a bonus - as I've also got some new bike trinkets that I'd like to buy 😉
The Dell ones are pretty good IME although not the cheapest to run if you're printing loads. They used to be re-badged Lexmark's but not sure if that's still the case.
For cheap A4 mono I'd go for a Samsung. Around £65 ish (maybe a 1630/1640 8ppm). Genuine toner carts are £50 (you can see their business model!) for 2000 pages or cheaper for compatibles - but you can get generic refills for £10ish. The cart really only needs replacing every second time (works out at 4000 pages for £60).
I've had 2 and no probs. Now got a hp (colour) and it works out way more exp.
Thanks for the suggestions, bit of a relief that they don't start at £200+ or similar - might even have enough left in my budget for the new stem I've got my eye on 🙂
Bog standard PC World offers: Samsung laser mono - £66 I think.
Yesterday I ordered a colour laser for £122 - but it's not been delivered yet so I dont know how good it'll be in practice
HP Laserjet 1018, had it for a while, use it a lot, cheap, cheerful and small.
