Anyone recommend one? Know of any special offers?

Need one that will be good enough to print photos if possible.

Am I asking too much?

Thanks

Stick to HP or Epson they seem to do the best Photo printers at the moment !

How much are u looking at spending maximum ?

 

Well Ian, about £70! If that is possible, I dunno? Saw a Canon printer and scanner package (separate units) at PC World yesterday which was £140. Don't know whether I want to spend that much, even though I would like a scanner as well.

There was an Epson printer for £69.99. Should I go for that?

Can you get them cheaper???

 

Initial cost of the printer can be a minor consideration

You also need to look at the cost and type of consumables. For example does it have separate colour cartridges or a single multi-colour cartridge, there is nothing more annoying than having to replace a multi-colour cartridge because one of the colours has run out. Photo printing can be very heavy on consumable use and it's very easy to find you have spent more than the cost of the printer on ink and good quality paper in a very short time.

 

Yeah, I don't really care about that because I claim some of the cost back from my company.

But obviously a consideration!

 

I bought an Epsom 3 years ago.Does great photos.

Also got a scanner.....waste of money,hardly ever used it.

 

Wanna sell it Paul? I know someone who wants one

 

I've had both Epson and HP printers and there isn't really much to chose between them - they're both great printers! One thing I noticed with the Epson, though, is that the cartriges are half the size of HP's so they need changing twice as often.

Good suppliers of printers are Dabs www.dabs.com, Simply www.simply.co.uk and Novatech www.novatech.co.uk and they can offer you major savings over PC World. My advice would be to go into PC World and get them to do some sample printouts to show off the printers and then you can decide which one you like best. Once you're done, make a note of the model and buy it online... You might want to look at Apollo printers as well which are unbadged HP printers at a fraction of the cost of badged ones...

 

..think i'll keep it,u know how it goes...u get rid of that thing you think you'll never need and suddenly...............

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. I sold my webcam a few months back, and now I have just purchased a new one!!! ADSL will be great for video transmission.....

 

This any good to you?

 

Yeah, looks good. Will have to come to some arrangement!!!

 

Talk to me baby

 

Tell you what - give me back 2/3 of what I gave you on Sunday, and its' yours

 

can't be bothered to edit, but the apostrophe jumped to the other side of the "s"

 

*cough* and I sold a scanner last week too :|

 

Read all about it!

 

If your looking for a 'cheap' printer, have a look at the Appollo printers, they are basically older HP models underneath. i saw one for sale a week or so ago (2 cartridge model) for £29.99 + VAT!

At that price you dont mind if it breaks after a year!

 

Ian, do you have website details of them please.

Fig, £100 is a bit steep, even though it is a good printer. Don't really want to pay that much really......

 

£100 steep for a £150 printer

Try an offer then

 

Apollo Printers

 

Cheers Ian, will have a look now....

Fig, £70?

 

Nah, be sensible

Got any details please Ian? Will they deliver for that - unlikely!

 

http://www.watford.co.uk/

Delivery is £3.47 if the order is less than £75 ! looks like its free above !

 

Thanks Ian, will def be looking at it - just have to see what Fig is going to sell me that one for first as it's a better one. If he doesn't come round to my way of thinking, I'll probably buy that one!

Cheers!

 

Suggest you go buy that one then, cos I'm not into being wrapped round little fingers today

However, if you want to make a sensible offer....

 

I can't afford it!!!
