PeterJames Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Brother here, I decided my printer hunt by looking at the copy consumables. Which are much cheaper than the originals, and seem to be better in many ways too. Many printer manufacturers have cottoned on that their consumables are copied and they have tried to make it harder each time they produce a new model. Now Im not saying that the latest Brother printers have not done this, Im just saying if you want to keep your consumable costs down its a sensible thing to checkout.

sixwheeledbeast Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I don't think much has happened in printer tech within the last 4 years. I've never rated Lexmark. I've still got my Brother colour laser and I still rate them, just like I've had good Kyocera lasers in the past. A lot of people seem to be getting big colour photocopiers for work instead of printers. For inkjet refillable tank types are becoming more popular.

norman Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 HP laser jet at home and a Brother duplex thing at work, both rarely used to print, just occasionally scan. Had to roll back the software on the HP because the fuckers updated it one night and it binned off the amazon toners. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

MrHappy Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The only colour thing I need is zone charts Xerox (Lexmark) C230 is £200, Toner appears on ebay, but will properly get bummed on a set of fuller toners for £240 instead !
