| 261037 | 2004-08-12 23:27:00 | I am looking for and MFD but am really concerned about the per page costs. I currently have a HP colour printer that eats an ink cartridge before breakfast. The ink costs are horrendous and I don't do a lot of printing. It is a joke in our house that when ever you go to print the response is always that you are low on ink. It is my impression that HP are particularly expensive on ink. The HP 2410 or 2510 look really good but if they run like my current printer I could end up broke. Does anyone have any good info on per page costs of HP and other MFD's? Thanks |

| 261038 | 2004-08-12 23:49:00 | Your correct in your belief that HP are more expensive for ink,i wouldn't touch anything with their brand on it. Having said that i like Epson printers and everyone else here hates them. All i can suggest is price the replacement ink before purchasing a new printer,Inktech are able to supply refilled cartridges at a reduced cost that are pretty good unless your into photo-printing......which isn't a strong point of Multi-function units anyhow. |

| 261039 | 2004-08-13 00:03:00 | I agree with Metla re HP ink costs. I use an HP Deskjet 5550 and it chews ink or more accurately it says the ink is low long before it is. This is especially so for the black and tri-colour cartridges, I'm not so sure with regard to the photo cartridge (58) as print quality degrades well before the replace cartridge warning. My solution is to off-load the printer to the family PC and get a decent replacement from another manufacturer. I'm checking out reviews now. Cheers Murray P |
