A main concern of sourcing for a printer is the running cost. Cartridges and toners cost should be a consideration as well.

 

As far as Brother goes, it is reliable given my past and current experience using this brand. One thing I don't like however is the need for a separate toner and drum. The drum is to replaced every 4 toner change, approximately. The cost of the drum in some cases, are more expensive than the 'entire' printer+toner.

 

I went down yesterday looking for a printer and bought a Samsung...

 

 

To add on: At the Harvey Norman booth, Lexmarks printers (all in one) going for $78 + free gift as well. Good deal. If yes, might pop over and get it...

I'm looking at inkjet for home use only. For laser printing, I print it in the office.

 

 

My HP MFC printer up lorry, sent to HP, they say old model, cannot repair already. If wana take back must pay $$$. I donate it to them n now looking for replacement, not HP brand one.

sorry to dig up old thread

 

any recommendations for multi purpose printer/ scanner for home office?

 

mainly print and scan documents

 

not for printing photos etc

 

prefer something with cheaper maintenance i.e. more economical print cartridge replacement

i bought a Brother B/W laser printer at IT show last month. 

 

it was to replace the colour inkjet that we have, and which we seldom use, and which made us v angry cos the ink will vaporise...

 

Just less than $200, can scan in colour too.

 

got wifi, can connect using phone/comp, so suits our needs...

nowadays you can use your handphone to be the scanner as most probably for documents/receipt.

Paste the piece of document on the floor/wall and use the handphone to take and send it to the

PC or wifi to the printer(preferably a Lazerprinter) ink cartridge dries easily.

I use a fuji xerox m225 dw as I need a ADF which is sufficiently fast.

Printout is crisp. 

Scan thru TWAIN in Windows 10 64-bit and Support TWAIN in Windows 10 64-bit.

Eh.... can just buy a printer with copy function.  Don't think will cost a lot more.

A couple of years ago, when I was helping my father with publishing a pictorial book, i used my photo to take photo and also scan old photos.

 

But the effect is not good enough for reproduction (print), although it's fine on-screen.

 

Eventually i still had to use my printer/scanner to scan it to get the high-res clear effect.

Install Microsoft Office Lens app and scan using your smartphone. It beats taking picture with no other disturbing background objects. Shadows and unwanted tilts are removed automatically.     

 

Seldom you see Microsoft building excellent software that comes FREE!

Ya. I brought the Brother MFC. However, with inkjets, the ink dried up and choke the print head as i do not print often. Now just using the scan function only.

 

I have another laser colour printer just for printing only.

 

 

However, most of the time, i print at office.
