bozodog Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 We bought an Epson Photo R200 over a year ago. It has worked flawlessly. Although there are black and 5 colors, we bought 3 reloads (including 2 blacks each) on E-Bay for less than 2 carts for my old Lexmark. My neighbor has a new HP that came with her new Dell and the carts (2) from Dell are $119. So whatever you purchase, check the reviews and make sure you can get a reasonable price on inks.

garmanma Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 99% of my print jobs are text. I have a Brother laser printer that I love. Of course after our first grandchild arrives in June, I'm sure the wife will want a photo printer.MarkSo, your wifw got any good recipes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sethook Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 If you print text almost 100% of the time, I would think seriously about a laser printer for quality and cost per print. Something like this HP should meet your needs. Plus no more worries about moisture ruining the prints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love it. The HP that sethook mentioned also looks nice for the price. I was considering that one for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
