| 680729 | 2008-06-21 01:26:00 | Hi Folks. My 7 or 8 year old Epson 440 has finally died. Last serviced in April 01 according to the sticker attached. Going in to Nelson on Tuesday next (a twice monthly event) and want to replace it... stuff available from DSE and all the usual places. Print maybe 30 - 40 pages a week, mainly black but some colour and speed is not a consideration. Replacement ink cartidges certainly are. Any kind suggestions, for or against, before Tuesday will be appreciated. |

| 680731 | 2008-06-21 01:46:00 | I have a canon pixma ip3000 cartridges cost about $20 each for the 3 coloured ones and about $25 for the black one nice and fast does photos too, 2 paper trays and also does CD's. Later models have wireless built in as well | gary67 (56) | ||
| 680732 | 2008-06-21 02:37:00 | I have an ip3000 too and find it very good, fantastic at lining up paper and double sided printing, no waste. | Arnie (6624) | ||
| 680733 | 2008-06-21 03:35:00 | Second what Arnie said I forgot about it's duplexing function | gary67 (56) | ||
| 680734 | 2008-06-21 03:48:00 | If you go to www.consumables.co.nz and look up the models, then click on the cartridge, it will tell you how many pages per cartridge you can expect to get. It DOES matter. My printer at the shop does 1200, the one at home does 840. Most new crap printers only do 200 odd. |

| 680735 | 2008-06-21 23:14:00 | Thank you folks. Not a big sample but Canon seems to be the answer.....;) | Scouse (83) | ||
| 680736 | 2008-06-22 10:15:00 | Canon all the way. Go for a 500 series or higher. Chappy at Lazers Edge in Nelson reckons they go through less ink than the lower models - I reckon he's right too. MP 510 is a very nice printer, so many features. One of the models, can't quite remember which one, around $300 even has an auto paper feeder for the copying/scanning, if your after that. |

| 680737 | 2008-06-23 06:19:00 | Hi, I bought an Epson cx5900 from Dse in Jan. for $99. Have just bought 4 cartridges from www.consumables.co.nz for $69.98 inc. delivery. Very pleased with the product. |

I would get a B/W laser and then a cheep colour inkjet. a brother laser runs many reams of paper before needing toner.... two printers may by over kill for what you need but a B/W laser is so cheep to run. |
