Vote with your wallet, don't buy inkjets.


If you want color, there's no inexpensive alternative. Is there?


Boots and other online printing services. Even cheaper.


Not when you include the cost of driving to pick it up.


If quantity requires then get a colour laser with an eye on the cost of
replacing toner cartridges.


Ink-jets are remarkably unreliable.


Mine arent.


I have to say that hasn't been my experience, either. All of the HPs that
I've owned over the years have been remarkably reliable given the level
of use and abuse that they get.


I've stuck with Canons myself and have only ever had the one failure just
recently, of the main logic card.
Mate of mine has gone thru 3 Canons now, all with some sort of electronics
failure.


I've had 2 printers in my lifetime

what do you guys do to get through so many?
