Printer Recommendations

Post by Zach Froble »

Can anyone recommend a good printer for everyday use and printing renderings. We tried the Kodak with the inexpensive ink, but have had numerous problems with the printer over the last year. The ink was inexpensive, but it seemed to not last as long as our old HP office jet.

Thanks,

Zach

Zach,

We use a HP 5N Printer. It is a little older but is very reliable. We are preparing to purchase a Xerox copier that has, I guess, what is called solid ink technology. The HP is a great network printer. We have one computer hardwired to it and three wireless computers running it.

After doing some research I think we are going to the HP Officejet Pro 8500. It seems to be the best value of everything I have seen.

Thanks,

Have you looked at the Canon multifunction printers? I've got an MX850 that does everything well and the cartidges are a lot less expensive then HP from what I've found.

I get my cartidges from: http://private.abacus24-7.com/
