| 208628 | 2004-01-21 04:33:00 | OK, thanks to you all for your replies. In the end I bought the Epson 830U because it was so cheap at Harvey Norman ($229.95!). The output results are excellent and it is easy to drive as well.....and a lot quieter than my old Epson 640.....it doesn't have card readers or anything but the image is what counts and I am happy with that. Thanks again. | hukcomse (1516) | ||
| 208629 | 2004-01-21 08:03:00 | Buy price of the printer is nothing in the "total cost of ownership" & cost per print equation Huk, it can be a false economy . It is the cost of consumables that the manufacturers make their money out of and ink tanks that don't empty fully or can't be changed individually end up costing many times the purchase price over the life of the printer . I have a carton of used cartridges at my office that reprsent over $6000 worth of hard-earned . A $600 printer used them all, that's $10 of ink for every $1 of the purchase price . . Worth remembering if your print numbers start to rise . Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 208630 | 2004-01-21 13:31:00 | Recently gave some photos printed from my HP930c which they were very impressed with and wanted to buy one. Out of luck as it is over a year old and was actually swapped for a Dot Matrix ( this occured because Dot Matrix printers have now become so expensive and they needed a backup. It was cheaper for them) The full colour cartridge is about $180 and when one tank runs out it is a whole new one as against a multi tank Cannon where you can get away with getting the one tank. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
