Thailand J Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Looking for a simple ( inexpensive ) monochrome laser printer with replacement cartridge easy to find. Please advice. The internet and printing shops are not open 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Most people would prefer to buy "compatible" cartridges rather than new official ones as they are usually much cheaper. Sometimes this involves swapping your used cartridge for a refilled (and re-chipped) one. I dont quite see why you have to wait until the old cartridge is empty before buying a new one though. Surely having one to hand would avoid the problem of shops being closed or out of stock? I have the cheapest Samsung black laser printer for which I have no trouble finding cartridges, and I keep a spare in a cupboard. Brother are also easy.

ignis Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Yes I have a "compatible" cartridge I keep as a spare, and buy another when the spare is used, have a 'Brothers laser' Edit: if your still looking, think about do you need photo copies ? or need paper documents/ things copied to your hard drive ? get a Laser with copier. Wait or look out for 'Sale' Promotions my Brothers Multi function Laser cost 2,220 baht. so half list price 3 odd years ago.... Note even a Mono black only, copies to PC in colour so if I need a colour copy at some stage can always go into the print shop [myself have a USB stick, which I put anything on and take to print shop] "compatible" cartridge for my Brothers a couple of weeks ago was 355 baht.

keeniau96 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Very satisfied with my Brother laser H-2130. Have now for several years, no problems, cartridge readily available at Office Depot, forgot price but thought very reasonable. Laser cartridge refills have not worked well for me and have not tried "compatible" for this printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laolover88 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Had many a laser printer. Presently a Canon LBP50. Would never buy another one. Eats Ink, Jams paper endlessly. Spends most of its life "initialising". Replacement genuine cartridges stupidly expensive.. ie 2500B Difficult to rechip to use fake ink. Don't know about here but in the Uk replacing the genuine cartridges is more expensive than buying a new printer. Would stick with Brother.

KhunBENQ Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Have a B/W Brother DCP-1510 printer/copy/scanner (3000 Baht). The factory supplied cartridge could not be refilled. Buy a new/other one for 1000 which is now refillable for 300 Baht. Lasts LOOONG. Close to zero problems compared to that bloody HP color ink printer Prints when you need it independent from how long it was unused.

Thailand J Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks for the replies. I see a wide selection on InvadeIT, I may get one from them based on the above advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhizBang Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Yeah, I dumped ink jet printers for a good reliable laser printer a couple of years ago. I bought a Samsung ML-2160 series laser printer. It has never given me a single problem, unlike the ink jet printers that always were nothing but trouble. Ok, fair enough, I do not do a lot of printing, but I do need a functional issue free printer when I need to print something. Ink jets did not provide the issue free functioning I needed, but the Samsung laser does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonsalviz Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Speaking of advice. There are shops called ADVICE. They sell computer related things including a wide selection of ink cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
