| 1391780 | 2015-01-10 03:21:00 | having a problem trying to buy catridges for my trusty Epson830U so will have to look for a replacement. My problem is that I only do the odd print now and again. The catridge is very often dried up, so someone suggested get a cheap Lazer printer. As an old guy I am looking for some advice from the experts. Any help appreciated. Ron. |

The cheap Lazer printer is the way to go as far as I am concerned. I recently brought a Brother multi function one. I do not often have a need to print anything out an the HP Inkjet I had finally annoyed me to the extent that I ditched. When I did want to use it it took a considerable time to go through all its checks before it was ready to play, replacement ink was expensive and all in all I am pleased I got rid of it. It would of course be an entirely different matter if you wanted to print out photos or produce brochures or the like. |

| 1391783 | 2015-01-10 04:38:00 | www.consumables.co.nz Has them still. Yes inks dry out, once they are installed and the seal broken they will start to evaporate. If you want to buy a laser the toners Don't dry out, you can leave them for years with no problems, at the worst they will settle and you need to pull out the cartridge give it a shake to move the toner, and away you go. Even a Colour Laser is not that expensive these days. If you only want black there are several cheap laser that do black only. Couple that come to mind -- Brother: real basic Black Laser hl-1110.html (welcome.brother.com) Has a cashback - depending on where you get it around $55 Bit more usage , www.ascent.co.nz Around $120 ( before cashback). Personally I have a Brother 2240D, welcome.brother.com Each toner lasts roughly 5 Reams of paper, and takes a good workout all the time. |

| 1391785 | 2015-01-11 22:34:00 | Do you need to print in color ? Color lasers are a bit more pricey , especially some color toner carts. | 1101 (13337) | ||
| 1391786 | 2015-01-11 22:52:00 | Don't think I will miss the colour, but usually when you don't have it, something comes up that requires it. The funny thing is my old Epson colour catridges don't seem to dry up like the black ones do. Have heeps of old colour ones, but they won't work without the black. Thanks for the interest. Ron.. |

| 1391787 | 2015-01-15 09:21:00 | I go with the laser option as well. I recently bought a Brother multi-function (no FAX) from stationeryonline and was most impressed with the price ($183 incl), next day free delivery, and the way the device operates. It is a DCP7065DN and is networkable. See here www.stationeryonline.co.nz Worth a look. |

| 1391788 | 2015-01-15 22:49:00 | I was exactly in your position last year( I'm even an old guy, come to think of it). Got myself a Kyocera FS-1041 last year as they had being replaced by a new model, paid about $60 for it, never looked back, it just works, all you have to do is put paper in it and the printing quality is good. | PPp (9511) | ||
