Low Maintenance Multifunction Printer

B

Bob Headrick

Hello, I'm also looking for an AIO printer. I'm considering Canon
MP150
so does anyone know what is the ink yield for the print and photos
task. I had searched and only find out the yield for printing
(PG40-490p) & (PG50-750). Is the photo task yield the same ?

Oh and can anyone inform me about AIO model (Canon or HP or etc...)
that use separated printhead (i.e the printhead comes along with ink
cartridge, right???) Because I need to print and copy very much...so
what is the reasonable choice?

I'm living in Singapore, and may the maximum price below 400SGD (i
think now 1UGD approx 1.5SGD)

The yields for HP printers (and all-in-one units) can be found at:
http://h10060.www1.hp.com/pageyield/us/en/index.html. Separate
printheads generally means the ink supplies are replaced more often than
the printheads, which are not included with the ink. Integrated
printhead models have the ink and printheads integrated into cartridges.
HP All-in-ones that have separate ink and printheads include the
Photosmart 3200 and 3300 series all-in-ones. Integrated supplies models
include the Officejet 7300 and 7400, the Photosmart 2570 and all the HP
PSC models.

How many prints per month do you expect to make, for text as well as
photo's? Printing "very much" means different things to different
people.

Thanks for your helps. Anyway I'm considering HP branch now. My need is
now approx. 2000pages/month but in the next few months maybe it's just
100pages...So what my new problem now the integrated ink, i assumed
their cost-per-page higher than the seperate ink only, right? since
they have to be replaced quite often...Anyway if the difference is
small, I prefer the integrated since i don't want my only-one-prinhead
down (incase I choose Pt 3200 or so...). I had seen your
suggestion,it's just that what type I should choose...Photosmart,
OfficeJet, or PSC(i don't know PSC mean, anyway their yield are
low)....The OfficeJet, I see some model with the same specifications or
even less, they have higher prices???

Or may i choose Epson branch

Oh...why is HP Photosmart 2570 All-in-One Series using integrated but
the above series (i mean 3100s or 3300s using separated-right??)

The 2570 and 3100/3300 are designed for different segments of the
market. The Photosmart 2570 is a lower cost device. For printing a
couple thousand pages per month you may want to consider one of the
higher end Officejet models such as the Officejet 7210 (see:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/en/WF02a/18972-238444-410635.html).
This uses the larger capacity cartridges. The 7210 uses integrated
supplies.

PSC is HP's model of lower end Printer, Scanner, Copier units.

I got an HP 6210 All-in-one and despise it. It has a paper tray that
seems limited to about 20 pages, and sometimes feeds the pages in at an
angle. My biggest gripe is the cost of the HP cartridges - and the
6210 is geared to reject anything but new HP brand HP94 cartridges
(which are expensive). It takes a good deal of effort to sneak a
refilled or off-brand cartridge into the machine. As part of the
price of a printer or an all-in-one, calculate the recurring cost of
ink cartridges, including whether the machine will accept refilled
cartridges. I have heard good things about Canon machines.
