Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Excuse the off topic subject.... my old epson style a3 inkjet is coming ot the end of its life I am looking at an economical way of printing colour a3 and a4 posters (also needs to print down to a6) for work I believe the general concensous is colour laser is the way to go for economy but dont have anyone local to discuss options or check out print quality on laser printers Needs to ideally be able to print edge to edge and print high quality images Our stationer has recommended this http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/products/printers/product-detail.html?oid=3974358&jumpid=reg_r1002_uken_c-001_title_r0001#!tab=features but I dont really have too much confidence in their ability to recoment as they sell a miliion and one products I have been to our local PC World and Staples Office but they were as about as much use as a chocolate teapot Do we have any specialists in this area?

Trevor Little (Trevturtle) - Treasurer Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi Clark, I threw away my HP A4 colour laser and replaced it with an HP inkjet because the laser cartridges were over £200 a set of 4. The printer worked fine but the cartridges were too expensive. check the cartridge yield (no of pages) against the price. I think lasers in most cases maybe cheaper per page, but it expensive when you buy cartridges.. it really depends how many pages you print It would be worth checking the cartridge costs before you make a purchase.. but I guess you know that already If you decide to buy HP , give me a shout I'll give you my HP friends and family login. it might be a bit cheaper..the care packs are much cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 As Trev said, it's the reason the club ditched the HP colour laser printer for the MemSec to use once the OS driver support ran out, £212 for four cartridges to refill it was ludicrous. Check the cartridge costs and print quantity per cartridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryathome Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 You might have to go for an older laser printer for the costs of replacement cartridges to be cheaper. Mind not that old if you won't be able to get them. Just going to order some at £13 free delivery for 4 refills, granted none OEM for Dell laser but how cheap is that!
