I want to get a new printer
I'm down to 2 choices:
Epson EcoTank ET-4800 and HP Smart Tank 570
I was hoping someone could give me an opinion
Epson: 5 year warranty and 7500 pages from one black ink bottle - with cashback, costs £200
HP: 3 year warranty and 12,000 pages from 2 black ink...
I want to buy a tank printer and was looking for recommendations...
Best choice HP?
ONLY because of ability to send email and get prints done - this is the easiest solution for printing from things like mobile - all other solutions need apps and or other settings
But how about... Quality...
I've got a Canon MX870.
I have it on Wifi.
Can I print to it using my mobile?
I've tried searching on my mobile.
It's not listed.
Just wondering.
Thanks.
Just wondering... if I was to recommend a printer to buy for someone... that would be easy to refill...
What should I recommend?
In the past (many years ago), I would have recommended Canon.
But don't know anymore.
Thanks.
My laser toner run out!
So I had to use my old Canon MX870.
PGI-520BK was empty.
I had ink for all cartridges apart from PGI-520BK.
So I refilled with CLI-521BK ink.
Just wondering if that's a bad idea?
It got me out of prison for today.
If not a good idea, I'll get stock of PGI-520BK ink.
Thanks.
I haven't used my MX870 in ages now.
Prints OK. I need to do a few head cleans I think.
I have a new PG520 ink cartridge - now empty and needing refilling.
I think that's what it's called - it's the big fat one.
I've got the refill kit.
I'm having trouble inserting the needle in.
I've hit a...
The availability seems to be very very poor?
Only a few sellers in eBay. (Lots of sellers in eBay USA).
Black powder OK to get.
But colours - only a handful of options.
Amazon has hardly any at all.
Thanks.
AND... why is this forum not posted to...!?
I see my last post from January still on...
I need to buy a new laser printer.
I need a colour one.
I will be printing 100+ pages a day on average.
What laser should I buy that is easily refillable?
I assume all need chips of some kind?
Ideally: would like automatic duplex printing - but can live without.
Importantly: these 100 pages...
I posted here a while back asking for advice on starting a tshirt printing business.
One of the things suggested as a DTG (Direct to Garment) printer.
These are super expensive. And what I read: don't bother with the cheap ones ($15,000), these will just take loads of time and be hard to use...
I'm looking into getting into tshirt printing and have seen one of the laser printers sold by a supplier come with white toner.
I can't find anywhere else where they sell white toner for the same printer.
Just wondering where you can get?
Anyone know?
Thanks

I know this isn't the right place to ask about tshirt printing...
I'm considering starting a business for this
Anyone know where to go to get advice?
Youtube have excellent videos - but one too many want you to subscribe to a paid website to be given 'all' the secrets
Just looking for some...
I have a Dell laserjet
I got a warning saying one of the inks was low
With inkjet, I know you're not supposed to continue printing - the print head will go
Is it a similar thing with laserjets?
Thanks
OM
I thought I was shrewd... where I can, I will print in grey - my thinking being that I'm saving on costs
I have a colour laser
Then I thought... what if colour ink was being used to print the grey????
Oh... that would throw my cost saving efforts counter productive
But then I'm thinking, on a...
I have a brand new Dell C1760NW
It's done about 200 pages
I am getting blotchy printing from the blue
See the image below
It's less than a month old - but this is a brand new replacement
The previous one had the same problem (it got replaced because of stuck paper)
No compatible ink has been...
I've bought a Dell colour printer
Cost of ink is *extortionate* :(
The reason why I purchased was because the cost of 3rd party ink is super cheap :)
I've ordered and received the 3rd party ink...
But... I need to test and make sure all is OK!!
If I take out the existing ink toners... will it...
I've seen a colour one for £99 - with 3 year warranty
The compatible toner inks are £25 for a full set + they have lots of good reviews
Good deal I think?
I was considering buying a Brother printer...
But for the compatibles, Dell seems to be much cheaper
Or am I missing something...
MP640: suddenly, the wireless is not working :(
I turned on, opened. turned off electrics, while I unsuccessfully tried to top fill
2.5 hours later, I used a new set of carts that I fortunately had
Wireless printing not working :( :(
I've tried the latest drivers
I've checked settings on...
First time doing top refilling
Yellow ink cartridge leaking!!!
I suspect the others might leak as well
What am I doing wrong?
I followed octoink video on youtube
I'm using aluminium tape
BIG disaster so far :(
HELP!
I need to print urgently before midnight!!!
Thanks
Omar
I've decided to switch to top filling (after a reply on the forum)
Is it OK to start top filling a cart that I've been German filling?
Or do I need to start with a new cart?
Thanks
Omar
I used the big fat syringe and orange clip from Octoink to purge my PGI 520BK
This had been messing around for a long time - very hard to fill + I can never fill upto the top - always would leak
When I had clear water in the cartridge, I could see small bits of debri - I assume these were from...
