What brands are people having success with these days, or has the
downward trend in prices meant that they are all going the same way?

I've been pleased with price/reliability/performance of the Canon
Pixma series.

Particularly impressive is the paper handling. We print manuals on ours
- double sided A4. The built-in duplex is slow but we run "Print odd
pages" then turn them over and run "Print even pages" - it's much
quicker that way.

I was telling someone only yesterday that, in the 15 months we've had
the Pixma - during which time we've printed several hundred double sided
60 page manuals on it - the paper pick-up has not failed once.

That's probably cursed it now but that level of reliability is great. If
you can't rely on the paper pick-up, you have to watch every page get
printed or be prepared to ditch a whole load of manuals (we print three
at a time) because a page has been missed and the wrong even pages have
been printed on the back of the odd pages.

And, whilst on the subject, I have no association with them other than
as customer but I can heartily recommend ink.co.uk

Ink cartridges at 0.37p instead of £10 makes an enormous difference to
the running costs though we use their more expensive (£1.47!) cartridges
that dry that bit quicker which is important for us.

When we look at new printers, we always draw up a short list and then
research the prices of compatible cartridges. All other things being
equal, the cartridge price is the decider - probably saving a thousand
pounds a year in running costs.


I got a nasty 'attacked detected' message when I tried to use that tiny
URL - or ink.co.uk.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
