Q&A: printer advice? cheap cheap?
need to buy printer/fax/scanner. Saw epson on sale model 7450. Does anyone own one and what do u think
Epson are pretty good…but I would choose Cannon or HP….its on sale at best buy…All you do dont get Brother..its the worse.
If you need a fax machine, the 7450 doesnt have fax. The cx9400fax does. But personally, I use efax.com and its free for limited use. I only get a fax or two a month. If you need more, you can pay a small fee. Compare with faxwave.com fax.com etc and get the best deal. Since the faxes come into your email, you dont need a dedicated line so it’s probably cheaper and more convenient than a fax machine.
As someone who was in the computer hardware business for years (though I rarely sold printers since I couldn’t compete with the crazy rebates) I have always recommended Epson. The print quality is excellent, even on plain paper. I have photos I printed on a 640 about ten years ago hanging in my office which still look good, though not as good as the ones from the CX8400 on glossy paper. The warranty is excellent. For a year, Epson will express-ship a replacement and pick up the old one. I had one customer who needed this. He called one afternoon and had the replacement two days later. Another client bought a Canon. It needed two repairs within a few months. Each time it was taken to the repair center, then picked up a few days later. This client runs a specialty printing business and this really hurt. They have since bought an Epson CX5000 and have had no down time since.
All name brand ink is expensive, but you can get cheap new replacement cartridges for Epson (not refills which I never recommend) for under at http://ccs-digital.com/ink.asp I have been using these for years.
The CX8400 scanner/copier/printer was on sale at circuitcity.com for with free shipping. It uses 3 colors plus black.
The NX400 which uses the same cartridges is on sale at Staples for .
The RX595 scanner/copier/printer also prints on DVDs. It uses 5 colors plus black and has even higher photo quality. It’s on sale for after instant rebate.

Q&A: Good cheap ink-saver printer? – Fax Free

Q&A: Good cheap ink-saver printer?
Hi, my old HP Printer broked due to paper jam.Family been using that oldie for about 4 college years. The printer is fine, just the Ink costs way too much.
Anyways, what do you recommand? I’m thinking of getting something that does print, copy, fax, and/or scan, but not nessary if it can safe $ ink$ . Color is ++.
I recommend staying with HP but move to one of their Laser Printers. In years past these machines have been in the hundreds to thousands of dollars but nowadays you can get one for under 0. I saw one with rebates for 65 bucks. If you combine this inexpensive printer with cartridges from a discount printer retailer you will probably save thousands in the lifetime of the printer.
A cartridge for this printer costs but it will get you about 2,200 pages. That is less than 2 cents a page! If you think about it relative to ink cartridges which you get around 150 pages/cartridge the savings are tremendous.
If you really want an all-in-one printer, copier, fax, scan, etc. I recommend an Epson CX5000 which is what I have at home for my color printing. You can still get the cartridges pretty cheap from those discount printer suppliers and you’ll get all the functions you want.
NO SUCH CRITTER. THATS WHY PRINTERS ARE CHEAP. THEY MAKE IT UP ON INK. GO TO WALGREEN DRUG STORE . THEY REFILL FOR HALF THE COST OF NEW.

What is a good, cheap printer?
Posted by in Fax Free on January 25, 2012
Q&A: What is a good, cheap printer?
I am on a tight budget, so I’m looking for a cheap printer that doesn’t cost a lot of money to operate. I like the Canon Pixma iP2702, but the color cartridges are about $ 70. I only need something that prints. I do not need fax and the other stuff. Also, I will only be using it occasionally. The printer needs to be around $ 30-$ 60, the black ink cartridges need to be around $ 9-$ 20, and the color cartridges need to be around the same price as the black ink cartridges. I do not want to pay $ 50 or more for cartridges, black or color. PS. Do not suggest black-white printers. I need color.
Canon Pixma iP2702 would be best suited for you
a connon
Your better of going to target & getting an HP printer I got mine for 35.00 $$$ & I had a 30 money back guarantee with my receipt… not only is it a nice printer but it’s also a scanner super great quality… i save money on the inks by refilling them at walmart for like 7-10 $$$ even the color ink…
I own the HP Desjet 3510 which has copier/scanner/printer, it does have color. And I purchased it for , and the ink cartriges cost . Its a really good printer I definetly recommend it!
how about HP printers.it is good and I like ti very much.hp cartridges are affordable and very efficient.

What’s a cheap printer that I could buy with some cheap ink when I need to refill? – Fax Free
Posted by in Fax Free on December 23, 2011
Fax Service: What’s a cheap printer that I could buy with some cheap ink when I need to refill?
I only need the basic print function, no fax, no copy, and no scan. I already have a printer that broke down, but those functions still work.
My Canon MP390 broke down and the black inks are only 6 dollars!
Cheap printers make there money on expensive inks. Whereas expensive printers generally have cheaper ink.
The epson cx8400 is a scanner/copier/printer for at circuitcity.com with free shipping. genuine Epson ink is expensive but you can get brand new (not refills which are a bad idea) cartridges for under at http://ccs-digital.com/ink.asp
I would recommend the CX8400 also. It is a print/copy/scan printer, but the performance you get for the money is well worth replacing the other functions.
I am sure that the scan feature on the Epson is upgraded from what you are able to do with the Canon. The Epson has three scan modes. Auto, which automatically scans with the press of a button. Home, which allows you to edit and increse DPI of your scans. Professional, for people that are far more in depth than I. The scan also has a faded photo restore feature, so you can restore the color in your old faded photos.
You also get the LCD screen and memory card slots, so you can increase/decrese the size and numbers of copies. You can edit photos and perform all your maintenance duties from the printer.
This is a 4 ink printer, so if you run out of yellow, you just replace yellow. The tri-color ink cartridges actually end up costing you more money, because when you run out of yellow, you are throwing away cyan and magenta. It is also pigment ink, so your prints are waterproof, even on plain paper. Epson has the only pigment ink printer available for home use (HP, Canon have pigment ink printers, but are the large format professional printers).
This is a cheap printer – Lexmark Z1300 InkJet Printer. It is cheaper to buy online.

I bought an EPSON CX8400. When one of the ink cartridges is empty, the printer won’t print at all. I’ve had it two weeks and replaced cartridges twice. It drinks ink like a sailor on leave. I’ve spent more on ink than I paid for the printer. ( at Fry Electronics) It’s so noisy, you can hear it all over the house. It prints fine, but I can’t afford the ink. The black was empty after printing 19 pages. I cleaned the head and it showed it used 1/4 of each tank. When the tank shows empty, it still has about 1/4 of tank left. If you decide to refill the tanks yourself, you’ll have to get a chip resetter. I’m throwing it away………….

FAQ: Do you know of a cheap landline to use for faxing.?
Posted by in Fax Free on December 10, 2011
Question: Do you know of a cheap landline to use for faxing.?
We use our cell phones for calls but I need to be able to use my fax machine. I’m looking for the cheapest way to fax other than e-fax.
I do. But cheap landlines are dependent on where you live and what you order. There is no ” all you can eat” landline services.
Start with your telco’s next to lifeline service rate. Then check with an alternative dial tone supplier. When you have those rates, check the VoIP suppliers that support T.38 or specific faxing. In our area, the local cable company will supply a fax compliant line and no other features for about a month.
This may not seem cheap at first, but consider an Ooma. It’s an internet phone device and it allows faxing. After you buy the device it’s free free free. Has a 30 day money back guarantee so it can’t hurt to try. Sold at Amazon, Best Buy, and Costco among others.
Internet faxing is truly one of the best ways to fax, and now many services such as RingCentral and Nextiva offer features that allow you to fax from your cellphone. Check out http://faxfromacomputer.com/ for more information.
