View Full Version : Help Please Are you happy with your printer?

I am not...thus this post.
If you are indeed happy - pleased - with not only the quality of the prints, but also the cost, i.e., ink cartridges, etc., what make/model do you have?
I use my printer every day - and many days am printing in color. Therefore, my current printer Kodak AiO is not very cost effective. It uses two cartridges - black and color. So if the yellow portion of the color cartridge empties, then I have to replace it, even though the red portion may still be full to overflowing.
The best printers, in my humble opinion, are those that have/use perhaps as many as four or five color cartridges...and at one time Kodak made such a machine - no longer avail, of course. I prefer, also, a printer/scanner combo, if possible, such as the current Kodak ESP 7250.
Any ideas/suggestions?
thank you

Mine is a plain older model Canon but much preferable to the first one I had a B/W HP. It has 4 cartridges ,one black and 3 colour . Don't know how the newer Canon ones are but I think they are the same with muliple cartridges . I would hate to have to replace all colours just because one ran out . Hope you can find one that suits you .

I love my printer!! HP Officejet 6500 Wireless.

I buy a large black ink tank, and then the color ink is in 3 separate tanks. I don't kn ow about printing pictures because I don't do that, but for regular printing, including color printing, it is excellent!! I love being able to sit in my living room and print in my office!! I know that doesn't make it a great printer, but I enjoy it. I do a LOT of faxing, and that is included, as well.

Printer, scanner, copier, fax. I have enjoyed this printer more than any I have had. I don't buy real expensive printers, though, and this might not meet your needs as far as pictures. You would have to do some research on that one.
