New Printer

[Gary A]

My little Canon i70 compact printer died. The trouble code lights say that the printer head is bad. A new print head is about 2,000 baht and I'm not 100 percent sure that would fix it.

I stopped at my regular small computer shop and looked at new printers. Naturally they recommended what I thought was an expensive model. It is a scanner, copier and printer. The unit is guaranteed for one year. I was shocked at the price. 2,500 baht. They always get you with the expensive ink cartridges, right? Black is 550 baht and color is 650 baht. Anyways, I bought it and am amazed at how well it works. For 2,500 baht it is a throw away. If it works well for a year I won't really mind buying another new one.

ADDED - I forgot to say that HP included a free one gig USB Kingston thumb drive.

you should buy the canon mp145, wich the ink memory can be reseted and original cartridge refilled.

the price is around 2300 bath, it's also possible attach it a continuous ink system but then the price is rising up by 2000 bath.

I'll tell you a little secret. I never had any problems with my canon printer until it ran out of ink and I couldn't find a replacement cartridge. Much against my better judgement, I refilled the tank. It worked fine the first time. The second time I used the printer it took quite a while to get it to print. The third time I wanted to use the printer, it gave me the print head bad signal. I think I ruined the print head myself by using other than genuine Canon ink.
