MJCM Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) If you mainly print in black then I would go for a LASER Printer Edit: Something like this. Is an all-in, and has wifi and can do scan and copy! https://www.lazada.co.th/products/brother-dcp-1610w-all-in-one-wifi-i2465405452-s8642039161.html Edited March 13, 2022 by MJCM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post recom273 Posted March 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Sorry in advance for this off topic reply, but I think it may help you. I always bought the cheapest (1000 or 1500B) Canon printers for years, I had about 3 or 4 of them, with aftermarket ink tanks at a cost of 500B plus a bottle of black ink from time to time. Every time I printed something, which wasn’t too often, I would need to move the printer next to my computer, test print, align the heads, put on rubber gloves, mess about filling tanks and bleeding the system. About 2 years ago, I bought a brother Wifi laser printer - never looked back, I only print in B/W. I think it was 2500B. I just bought my first toner refill, 199B. I also discovered you can have the toner tanks refllled. Edited March 13, 2022 by recom273 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toner in a laser printer lasts especially if you don't print a lot. And more importantly as @recom273 pointed out, inkjet printers (especially if you don't print much) can have problems with clogged inked jets etc etc etc. Laser Printers don't suffer from the same problems Edited March 13, 2022 by MJCM 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a canon flatbed scanner, I have had 2 in 15 years. No, the toner is a powder, like a photcopier. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/discount4u-tn-1000-tn1000-tn-1000-t1000-for-brother-mfc-1900-mfc-1905mfc-1915w-i3489489614-s12958824869.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.29.2f6f2f9dGTvoCT&search=1 I don't do a great deal of printing, just regular years printing - 3 copies of house book for Toyota along with bank statements, all the copies for the yearly extension, some spreadsheets and plans for architect meetings, etc, but not a great deal - the original tank lasted for 2 years. You can get the toner tanks filled, pulling a figure out of my behind, 100B I think the drum can get dirty and you need to clean or replace, that's another 200B or so, but you dont need to buy brother, OEM are available. Both just clip in and out, no mess, no rubber gloves, no ink on the carpet. You can buy a HP laser for cheaper, but I read about brother printers here and just went with it. A great recommendation from Stocky, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have them both Brother DCP-T500W (Ink Jet) and the DCP-1610W (Laser) I mainly print from the Laser, but I am keeping the Ink Jet because the scanner is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better.

What about toner and drums? Like I say, I only bought one, a third party one, ran a couple of test prints and its, err black ... works fine. Do you buy official brother toner? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought mine, I got another (3rd Party) one for free but it's still in it's box so I am still using the one that came with the printer.

Etaoin Shrdlu Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Some of the cheaper Brother laser printers don't have the capability to print envelopes. I found that out the hard way after buying a Brother HL 1210w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never tried to print envelopes on either my laser or inkjet, but what about Stickers? It does print stickers and that's the solution I landed on. But I find stickers are a bit fiddly to print and the result, while serviceable, does not look as good as printing directly on envelopes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want recommendations for a Inkjet Printer as I have them both? The Brother DCP-T500W Inkjet I most certainly can recommend, Wireless, Good Quality Scanner, takes any ink (refill)! Yep Sorry again Brother, I also thought about HP but after reading that HP can disable that your printer works with NON HP printer cartridges, I stopped and bought the Brother and it has served me well!! And another thing the Brother (as I already said) takes any ink, and no need for new cartridges etc etc so if you want to go for a Inkjet go for one that you can refill yourself Example: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/canon-printer-inkjet-pixma-g3010-print-inktank-scan-copy-wifi_usb-2-1-___-color-fly-1-i332032233-s639120716.html Edited March 13, 2022 by MJCM Added link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aforek Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 True for HP; my printer doesn't accept non HP cartridges thanks for all these informations, so many different printers ! but I admit that after all, I can choose a Brother laser printer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
